"This is irrelevant, it matters what made it into the contract, i.e. Constitution." This was a correct and useful stance - and a fruitful ground for debate - prior to 2010. However, what matters now is District of Columbia v. Heller[1] and McDonald v. City of Chicago[2] which "held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states".[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald_v._City_of_Chicago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald_v._City_of_Chicago
