I'm under no such apprehension or hesitation. "Shall not be infringed". It's a blanket, broad, statement. Exactly as the States demanded it be during the ratification process. Hell, they even argued about placement of comma's.

This country was set up to protect individual Rights and to promote an atmosphere of liberty, responsibility, and freedom.

It applies to the States. Counties. Cities. Municipalities. Even "home rule" cities. If you are part of this Union, then you are subject to the Art 6 para 2 clause. No other "incorperation" or selective enforcement is necessary.

Deserves repeating. It really is just that simple.

I share your opinion. Of course, that means that all gun laws are unconstitutional.
