The Constitution trumps all state laws, period. Rights guaranteed in the Constitution cannot be infringed by the states. But they can be 'interpreted,' and it's there - in the details - that the devil lies.

The Supreme Court has arrogated to itself the role of arbiter of the U.S. Constitution. On any Constitutional right, the Court can take a restrictive interpretation (i.e., Federal Firearms Act of 1938), or an expansive one (Roe v. Wade).

These interpretations can vary or even change radically, depending on the makeup of the court and the politics of the time. That is why it is important for gun owners to be politically active, and not just depend on the Second Amendment for protection.
