Spoken like a true fire breathing liberal. How old are you?

Our Nevada State Constitution also has a Second Amendment. I'm not
sure about other states.

See: (SCOTUS)

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distric...mbia_v._Heller

and

"McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. ___ (2010), was a landmark[1] decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States on the issue of gun rights.
The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms"
protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is
incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and
applies to the states..."
