he States are not constrained to enumerated powers like the Federal government is.

So ... do you think it's acceptable for a State to prohibit the ownership of all guns including a .22 pistol?

"Arms" are projectile, cutting or blunt trauma weapons, wielded by an individual human.

That interpretation is inconsistent with revolution-era America, where crew served weapons were privately owned, and would be a surprise to the negotiators of the Strategic ARMS Limitation Treaty ...

No, and that wasn't my point.
