The Cliff Note's version of the decision seems based solely on the 'longstandingness' of New Jersey's firearms laws. But, based on my (admittedly) cursury(? is that a word?) review of the New Jersey constitution, there isn't any mention of any right to keep or bear arms, so the New Jersey legislature was free to write whatever gun laws they wanted without impunity.
Given that I'm not a lawyer, is it a point worth arguing that the precedent of 'longstandingness' no longer applies because the 2A was only recently incorporated, rendering much of the decision null?
