But, I don’t believe the Second Amendment to be a guarantee for each individual except in federal matters. There, in Washington, D.C., this ruling is correct as it is not a state, but a District of the Federal Government meant as a central meeting place for the states to meet without favor to one or the other. The reason each state has their own constitution is to guarantee the right of each individual in that state to have a right to, or no right to, bear arms as the people in that state decided locally (or continue to decide). Although the civil war changed the scope of the meaning of the United States to mean that States are subject to the Federal Government instead of “these United States” as the framers meant when the INDIVIDUAL States (or quasi countries, if you will) entered into a treaty with each other to form a pact of States much in the same way the European countries have now formed their own United States (or countries) called the European Union. The Second Amendment only prohibited the federal treaty from disarming the people of any one state collectively, thus the need for each state to include within their own constitution whether to guarantee the right with its people. Since the North changed the meaning of the USA with its victory in the nineteenth century, we now witness the federal government sticking its nose into all state matters and taking almost all of the states sovereignty away.
