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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
