The Second Amendment finally applies to the states.

Well duh, did anyone ever read the 10th Amendment?

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

To: Las Vegas Ron
I've always like reading Art 6 paragraph 2 right before reading the 10th.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

I always giggle a little bit in nervous hysteria when reading the "Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding" bit...
