The Second Amendment was ratified in 1789. It doesn't take an 'interpretation' in 2020 to 'decide' what it means - it means what it says.
Any laws that violate that clear, black-letter proscription of government power are null and void.
Since the federal and state legislatures consistently ignore that fact, the last line of enforcement of that constitutional mandate is the counties and localities.
The argument that their official acts have no force of law, when the laws they countermand violate both the state and federal constitutions, is facially without merit. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
