David,
The lie that the 2nd Amendment applies only to the federal government has been repeated so often that it has become true. Though oddly, it seems to not apply to the federal government either. Regardless, the crafters of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were very specific in their wording as is evident from a simple reading of the document. The 1st applied only to Congress ( i.e. The Federal Government) Whereas the 2nd stated the rights of the PEOPLE. Thus, stating in plain english that it applied to ALL forms and levels of government.
Modern lawyers and their ilk tend to believe that the law is theirs to interpret, much like ancient priests were necessary to interpret and intercede with the gods.
