This opinion piece would have judges not make any assessment of laws passed by states or cities, but rather leave things as they are, because the leaders of that community know better. I wonder if the author would make the same argument for same-sex marriage laws or abortion...I think not. But, for the 2nd Amendment, it is an argument he tries to make.
Of course, he tries to make an argument that Constitutional rights can always be infringed, depending on the situation.
