Mr. Cranely needs to take a remedial American civics course.
The 10th Amendment reserves civil police powers to the several states. Their political subdivisions exercise certain of those powers at the pleasure of the state. Unless the state constitution includes designated home rule, the state legislature can impose whatever laws it deems appropriate.
The 14th Amendment binds the states and their political subdivisions to the Bill of Rights, now, since 2010, including the 2A, and that supersedes all state constitutions and state, county and local laws.
Localities are at the bottom of that food chain, whether they like it or not.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
