Well, according from what I've been reading off the constitutional site, the 2nd amendment does only refer to the federal directorate and not the state. The states are supposed to stand as individual sovereigns to legislate whatever laws they want to impose on the folks within their boundaries.

Wait a sec here, why is this the case only with the 2nd Amendment, and not the rest of the Bill of Rights? Why is it being treated differently?

Or are you saying that states can also pass laws nullifying other Bill of Rights? Something seems screwy about all of this to me.

Can a state outlaw freedom of speech and freedom of religion? Allow double jeopardy?? Delay the right to a speedy trial???

Why should a state be able to usurp the 2nd Amendment?

If this is not all settled in law, then it is high time for the US Supreme Court to clarify this once and for all.
