There are currently cases in progress that when won, will incorporate the 2nd Amendment in their respective jurisdicitions (example: Nordyke v. Kings County, 9th Circuit Court).

When the 2nd is incorporated it then becomes a different fight. Each unconstitutional law on the books will then have to be broken, and challenged in court as unconstitutional.

The States get to override the Supreme Court's Heller dicisionuntil the 2nd Amendment receives incorporation under the 14th Amendment at the State level. Currently that hasn't happened. The 2nd Amendment currently is only legally bindingupon the Federal Government.I really don't understand their wording, A device that can't be fired isn't a firearm, it is simply a lump of metal and/or plastic with working parts. I really thought the Heller decision would the final arbiter of this question. The Supreme Court says it's OK, it must be OK. Since when do the states get to override a Supreme Court decision? Or for that matter any local jurisdiction? It really has come time for the rule of law to apply equally to all citizens (hello..... "Vermont").:celebrate
