Your state could regulate guns any way it wanted if there were no 2nd amendment.
You want abortion left up to the states by getting rid of Roe v. Wade? You want same sex marriage left up the states?
Why don't you want gun control left up the states?
...then again you may be one of those conservatives who want the Constitution to ban abortion and gay marriage.
The Second Amendment exists. Therefore, your alleged argument is invalid.
That has nothing to do with it. I'm talking about the principle. Of states rights. Why do guys like you selectively invoke the principle of states rights based on whether or not it suits your agenda?
Why, in PRINCIPLE, shouldn't a specific state be able to ban private ownership of handguns, if that is what the People of that state wanted,
much in the same way a specific state might want to ban all abortion?
btw, a state cannot now ban all abortion because the right to an abortion EXISTS in constitutional law...
