But as I said above: “Those powers are only limited if there’s a state or federal constitutional right that prohibits that exercise of general police powers.”
Vis-a-vis the comment I was responding to above, if I want to say the government can’t take my guns, I have to affirmatively point to somewhere in the federal constitution or the state constitution that says that. (Luckily for me there’s a whole amendment about guns; guns don’t even have to share an amendment with other rights, like free speech which has a bunch of roommates in the first amendment.)
I also agree that if incorporation didn’t exist, states could ban guns notwithstanding the second amendment. And incorporation may well not exist, but that’s an argument for a different day.
