AV> No.  Your federal constitutional rights are the minimum.  The 
 AV> states can recognize more rights, but they cannot impose restrictions 
 AV> greater than those permitted by the U.S. Constitution. 
  
Unfortunately ,it seems that they can. Prohibition being another fine example 
of going against the pursuit of happiness, and all that. One you let the 
Genii out of the bottle it's kinda hard to get him back in. 
 
 AV> Unfortunately, too many, including the NRA, accept (or act as though 
 AV> they accept) the 2nd Amendment as involving PTKBA (Privelege To Keep 
 AV> and Bear Arms) rather than RTKBA. 
 
I don't know enough about it to qualify that one way or another, but offhand 
it doesn't look to an outside observer that the NRA is accepting anything, 
permanently. You've got to fight these anti-gun lobbyists all the time, there 
will never be and end to it.
