If the Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution states:?

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Doesn't that mean state firearms licensing laws are not valid?

Don't state firearms licensing laws contradict the second Amendment because they are an infringment?

    To date, the Supreme Court has never ruled that firearm licensing laws violate the 2nd Amendment.

    You can read the words in the 2nd Amendment any way you like. In the end, the Supreme Court's interpretation of those words is the only interpretation that means anything.
