[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1754537, member: 7815"] Actually, SCOTUS did hold in [I]McDonald v. Chicago[/I] that the Second Amendment right is fully incorporated against the states. The first paragraph of Justice Alito's plurality opinion (for a total of four Justices) says: "[W]e hold that the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States." And the first sentence of Justice Thomas's concurring opinion states: "I agree with the Court that the Fourteenth Amendment makes the right to keep and bear arms set forth in the Second Amendment fully applicable to the States." Thomas is the fifth vote, so this was indeed a holding of the Court. The open issue, rather, is what view the Court will take of the scope of the Second Amendment right itself. Does it include carrying handguns outside the home; what level of regulation is permissible; etc. These are likely to be addressed in future SCOTUS cases within the next 2-3 years. But the Court did make clear in [I]McDonald[/I] that whatever the Second Amendment restrains the federal government from doing, it also restrains state and local governments from doing. [/QUOTE]
