1. ““Indeed, the Heller Court states that Presser and Miller ‘reaffirmed that the Second Amendment applies only to the Federal Government.’ 128 S. Ct. at 2813 n.23. As a result, until the Supreme Court overrules Presser and holds to the contrary, lower courts remain bound to follow the law that the Second Amendment has no application to the states. Because the Second Amendment is not incorporated in the Due Process Clause and thereby enforceable against the states, Knight cannot maintain that K.S.A. 2006 Supp. 21-4301(a)(4) infringes on any Second Amendment rights.””
