if we lose one "conservative" member on the Court, bye bye gun rights.  Plain and simple. So, while what you are saying should be correct, in reality the Courts have allowed the government (local, state, and federal) to slowly whittle away our fundamental constitutional rights if what the government is attempting to do is a "compelling governmental interest."  As long as the Court can construe what the government is doing is "narrowly tailored" to achieve that interest and it is using the "least restrictive means" possible, then it will be found to be lawful.  This has been going on for the past one hundred years and is in large part why this country is so screwed up.  Most people have no clue that our rights can be so easily violated.  I fear that it may already too late to wake them up. Marchabri 2nd amendment gives us right to protect.  You can't drive through New York with a gun at all.  Not in your car, not locked up separated from ammo, nada.  Only if you're going to a gun competition if you are a non resident.
