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.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
