All this says is that the feds cannot sue a state, not your own, on you behalf. Nor can the feds be used by a foreigner to sue any state.Amendment 11 - Judicial Limits. Ratified 2/7/1795.
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
So, if you want to sue Illinois for violating your 2A right you have to move to Illinois, become a resident of Illinois, get busted on a unlawful use of weapon charge in Illinois, and then sue the state of Illinois in state courts. You can not use the federal judiciary to sue the state of Illinois.
Typically it is some podunk town cop that gets ya and you are suing him and his department/city for hiring a nitwit. But, if you get busted by a Illinois state trooper you are suing the state of Illinois, so, get busted by a Illinois state trooper.
