34 states urge Second Amendment incorporation

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming have all submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing that the Second Amendment should apply to the states. California wrote its own; the other states collaborated on theirs.

California is the big surprise. Its brief is signed by Jerry Brown, California Attorney General and noted liberal.

Incidentally, 34 states is just four short of the number needed to ratify a constitutional amendment, should one be necessary.
