The word "State", as used above, refers to the nation. Every right in the Bill of Rights protects the American people against Government overreach or oppression. It would be illogical to believe that only one of those ten rights, the Second Amendment, does not.

I don't have a problem with the right to "bear arms". When the 2nd amendment was written "arms" were single shot. I would be fine with single-shot arms. I have a problem with 30 round magazines. The only person that NEEDS a 30-round magazine is a person that is going to shoot into a crowd. (that happened this weekend with one drive-by MASS shooting
and several similar shootings into crowds) Would a hunter or person defending their home NEED a 30-round magazine?..........answer NO! Their home might be intruded by one or two people, but NOT by a CROWD, Only a DOMESTIC TERRORIST needs a 30-round Mag.
...........The US is getting tired of baby killers and the answer is to look at what Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK have done!
