You would need specified exceptions. For example prohibited or under aged individuals should be exempted.

In any case anyone coming from a prohibition state should be allowed some minimal time and distance to get strapped so that it is possible to be law abiding.

This is exactly why I keep asking the various national 2A groups to go after the “big fish” (try to get something to SCOTUS where they have to define “Shall Not Be Infringed”) instead of going after “minnows” like rifle and magazine bans. While those bans are terrible and definitely unconstitutional, the rulings on those types of cases tend to be very narrow and they leave a lot of room for shenanigans by the lower courts (see Bruen). We need something so broad and so powerful that it kicks every infringing law off the books in one fell swoop.

The 10 the amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

As any state "arms" law is a direct "infringement."
