I don't want to get into a State's Rights brouhaha. However, the Supreme Court dodges many of these cases on just that basis. In my humble and perhaps imperfect opinion. I suggest that given enough word support and funding the NRA could bring a lawsuit to the level of the Supreme Court that would force the matter of the Second Amendment to be heard. The 2nd is smack on about the caprice of the California gun ban and some others. The term 'Assault Weapon' is typical gun grabber verbiage. My granson's Easton Little League Bat is an Assault Weapon when used in that venue. We can argue this 'til the cows come in for milking and it won't change what needs to be changed. Trying to outlaw something simply because you are afraid of it is foolhardy. And politicians trying to disarm their subjects should be so transparent that the would be outlawer should be ridden out of town on a fence rail. The list is a long one too.
