Should have been the end of it right there...

It won't be the "end of it" until we get a US Attorney General who files charges for 2A civil rights violations.
Don't hold your breath.

We had one. Ashcroft may have been wrong on somethings, dangerously so, but at least he understood "shall not be infringed".

Could be why Jorge Arbusto replaced him with firmly anti-Gun Alberto.

Actually, since the 2A has never been subject to the Doctrine of Incorporation (note: no other amendmant should be either) state gun control laws are not constitutionally a federal function to begin with. The US constitution spells out specifically what the feds can and can't do, and leaves everything else to the states and the people.

On the other hand, since the Ohio state constitution itself guarantees the right to keep and bear arms, general gun control restrictions and pretty much any law in the state or any municipalities therein restricting ownership of pretty much any type of firearm by law abiding citizens should be unconstitutional in Ohio under the state constitution.

To make things a bit more complicated, the state constitution explicitly states that the right to keep and bear arms does not apply to concealed carry - meaning that it is only with respect to concealed carry that laws can be passed in the state either restricting or facilitating - at least if we care about the state constitution to begin with, which, of course, no Democrat and darn few Republicans in Ohio do...
