26. Very good post, but one problem.
The argument about urban vs. rural being able to have different guns laws is a dangerous position and a potential trap. If you're going to permit say NYC, Chicago and DC to place strong controls on, or even prohibit possession of guns, then what's to stop Omaha, St Louis or Salt lake City to do the same thing with abortion?

There's already precedent with the issue of Community Standards for sexual images under the 1st Amendment. You want to go further down that road?
