Andy,
what would you say to the interpretation that the 2nd amendment prevents federal regulations without preventing individual state regulations?

I'm not Andy, but I think it is absolutely clear that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states (at least until the 14th Amendment came along which has been interpreted to apply many of the rights in the bill of rights to the states --- though not the 2nd Amendment.) States, cities, towns can regulate guns however they want without running afoul of the 2nd Amendment.
