Well in any case, the Second Amendment has yet to be applied to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment. No court case has come up yet; States could get by with banning arms.

If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, the Bill of Rights only applies to the national government. The provisions of the Bill of Rights have only been applied to States post-Fourteenth Amendment through a process known as incorporation.

District of Columbia tried to ban arms this year but the court shot it down.
