Its great they want to enforce it as a right to all. However, need to be careful about precedence. If we enable the Gov't to push something on the states, remember that it is subject to their interpretation.

This is a Hot/Cold issue. Yay, gun rights. Boo, loss of state's rights.

Exactly. Honestly, I would prefer it if we had stuck to the bill of rights as a charter of negative liberties against the federal government, and let the states decide on these issues themselves. It's much easier to move to a different state than it is to another country. As freedom proved to be more effective and popular, more states would jump on the bandwagon eventually anyway.

How is it some cities and states think that the 1st 5th, 14th, and other amendments apply to the states, but the 2nd doesn't? Makes no sense, it is an all or nothing thing IMO.

Yeah what he said

The Constitution as a whole applies to all states and territories. You can not pick and choose which ones you want. The Bill of Rights was added so that the Constitution would be ratified. They were added to the Constitution to guarantee those rights.

Let's hope we are reading the signals correctly.
