This is a tough one...

As a Libertarian with Federalist leanings, I'm almost 100% on board with concept of states' rights. I believe issues like abortion should be handled at the state level, as should gay marriage - barring some change in the constitution of course.

But in this case, we're talking about the State's potentially being able to infringe upon enumerated individual rights specified in the Constitution. In this case, I have to say the states are wrong, and that then cannot pass laws that limit an individual's second amendment rights.
