We're talking past each other. You may buy a gun, true, but it's not the 2nd
Amendment that allows such. The 2nd Amendment has no effect on the states or
the individuals within a state. The 2nd Amendment applies only to the
federal government.
For example, no law-abiding citizen in Washington, D.C. has a right to own a
pistol.
This restriction may change by early June.
