West Virginia has a strong preemption statute to ensure the state has reasonably uniform laws about the carry and use of firearms by individuals, throughout the state. It is §8-12-5a:

Limitations upon municipalities' power to restrict the purchase, possession, transfer, ownership, carrying, transport, sale and storage of certain weapons and ammunition.

§8-12-5a does a pretty good job of limiting the power of local governments to infringe on the right to keep and bear firearms. But the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is not limited to firearms.

As affirmed in the Heller decision, the Second Amendment covers all bearable arms. The Heller decision was re-enforced by the Caetano decision, where the justices on the Supreme Court unanimously held the Second Amendment protects all bearable arms. From Caetano v. Massachusetts:

The Court has held that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,” District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570, 582 (2008), and that this “Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States,” McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 750 (2010).

Remember this patriots when the Communist/demonRATS who control the centers of this country that they have staked up with immigrants that rely on their FREE SHIT in trade for their votes...."The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms, not just firearms."......as you will have fewer and fewer things to protect yourselves from the "GANG POWER" of these people who never had power and now, all of a sudden, THEY are the ones that will be able to wield that power ....the power many of them supposedly fled from!!!!! The DEMONRATS have given them FREE RIDES for committing crime with their NO BAIL agendas and decriminalizing many felonies to calling them lesser crimes!, all in the attempt to gather votes from these NEWLY MADE CITIZENS!
 
You can be sure that the criminals, their families and friends will vote for the Marxist left in 2020.\
 
I think poison gas is a natural. It's hard to defend against and can be difficult to trace. How would something like the old Mustard Gas fit the Second Amendment?
