Interesting. But what does that have to do with the fact that the
Second Amendment does not bar state or local government from
regulating firearms or banning them outright?

case in point but off the track a little. small town n.j., it's a
best kept secret. keeps it quant and small. no one knows where it
is. the folks like it that way. i can't say as i blame them. i wish
i knew where it is. it dosen't look like it belongs here. all of a
sudden. unka sam thinks it's time for improvments. so! the town is
being forced to widen there roads. to be brought up to date, and
every thing is nice & legal. as far as unka sam thinks. what about
what the town folk think, or n.j. as a state? they had no say so in
this matter atall. is this extortion, or overbearing federal
bullying? & how do you fight city hall & win? seems like the
constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on any more.
