State lawmakers must carefully word their laws so that they are consistent with the Second Amendment.

Explanation:

The McDonald v. Chicago was created because a citizen felt prejudiced when the Chicago local government did not accept the registration of firearms, thus preventing citizens from being able to use them as a personal defense.

Based on this, the case was concluded by stating that the City of Chicago's decision was an affront to the Second Amendment and that the laws formulated by local and state governments regarding possession and possession of a firearm should be established in accordance with the second amendment.
