Seems it's not only Valve that can only count to 2... most people who want to tell me about the constitution seem to have that same problem.
The Bill of Rights is precisely this throughout, actually: it is just a list of things that the Federal government was NOT allowed to do. And originally, that intrinsically meant it was things States WERE allowed to do. That part got lost in (bad?) 14th Amendment jurisprudence.

But originally, it would have been your _state_ constitution that would have limited state gun laws. If your _state's_ constitution had strong prohibitions on gun laws, then it would be constrained; if it didn't, it wouldn't be.

Personally, I think the original (pre-incorporation-doctrine) system was much better. The new system basically doesn't work, and we are constantly running into severe issues with it, which continue to get worse over time as geographic differences play themselves out.
