(from your link-comments after the article)

"Mr. Cover's analysis is shoddy. He glosses over the fact that the 14th
Amendment was NOT implicated in Heller because the DC is not a state.
Indeed, Justice Scalia himself, writing for the 5-4 majority, noted that
"the Second Amendment applies only to the Federal Government" [fn. 23,
citing Presser & Miller]. Justice Scalia also pointed out (p. 55) that
"Like most [constitutional] rights, the right secured by the Second
Amendment is not absolute". An "important limitation on the right to
carry and bear arms [is, Miller said] that the sorts of weapons
protected [by the Second Amendment] were those 'in common use at the
time'" (p. 56). The Nordyke case, like Heller, involved a ban on
handguns. Maloney, however, had been arrested for possession of a
ninchuk. No one can argue with a straight fact that ninchuks were widely
used in colonial America. It is thus, unremarkable that the 2nd Circuit
considered itself bound by the 1886 case Scalia referenced in Heller."
