On July 22 Hillary Clinton announced Tim Kaine as her running mate. Kaine is a Democrat Senator from Virginia who supports a ban on 15-round “clips” and “assault weapons,” and who wants to enact a law to hold gun dealers liable for the misuse of firearms.
During the June 26 airing of Meet the Press, Kaine told Chuck Todd that he voted for an “assault weapons” ban before and “would likely vote for it again.” But he stressed that he believes “limitations on the size of magazines and ammunition clips” is the first step to take.
Todd asked Kaine if he believes the sale of AR-15 rifles ought to be illegal, and Kaine offered no direct answer, Instead, he suggested the problem with banning certain rifles is that the ban can be circumvented. Kaine said:
Here’s the thing, I have voted for [the assault weapons ban], and I would likely vote for it again, but here’s the practical problem I think you’re aware of. As soon as you define what an assault weapon is–that you can’t sell a weapon and here’s how to describe it–gun manufacturers just make one adjustment or two and they say, “See, this isn’t subject to the limitation.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday left in place gun control laws in New York and Connecticut that ban military-style assault weapons like the one used in last week's massacre at an Orlando nightclub, rejecting a legal challenge by gun rights advocates.

you seem unable to understand the difference between the idiocy of some Democrat run STATES vs a FEDERAL GUN BAN that clearly violates the second amendment. Kaine is seeking FEDERAL OFFICE so your silly rant is worthless
There is no real difference since it was ruled the first ten amendments apply to the states.

Big difference based on your own post, if a liberal state is able to circumvent the 2nd it effects the state not the Fed or any other state, but if the Fed is able to circumvent the 2nd it could apply to all the states.
I am not surprised. Many democrats in office seem to have no respect for the 2nd amendment.
In both cases they are in violation of the second amendment for the same exact reason. Yes, the effect of individual states violating the second is less than the federal government doing it, but it's still unlawful and for the exact same reason.
it first started during the great era of pandering in the 1930s but it really became a permanent part of the Democrat scheme in 1960s when the Democrat party adopted gun control as a means of pretending that the Democrats were actually trying to do something about violent crime. Well Gun control was a facade that allowed them to pretend they were while not upsetting one of their major constituencies. Once the NRA and pro gun advocates started calling the Democrat scheme for the BS that it was, the Democrat party has launched a jihad against gun owners and the NRA
"THEY'RE COMING FOR OUR GUNS, MA!!!" Is such a cliche these days.
Not for you, yours are already gone.
