IMHO, the second one, if Trump wades off into it would be unconstitutional.

The States control who carries within their borders not the Federal Government.

“The States control who carries within their borders not the Federal Government.”

I am not sure that is so.

The “Shall not be abridged” clause looks like the Feds are making a fairly universal case. If the population has a Constitutional right to bear arms I can’t see where the states have a right to regulate that.

I don’t know that I want to live in a society where everyone feels that they need to be armed but that is actually a different issue.

Please note I am not a shooter.

That's like claiming that the states control which types of soldiers will be housed in your home, not the Federal Government.

The Second Amendment makes it clear that gun laws are one of the things which were NOT left to the states.
