You claim that States are not "restrained" by our BOR's, - that CA can prohibit assault weapons for instance.

- You scoff at our RKBA's sir.

---- you do not even understand the "issue" that you have invented.

You posted the issue, just as is quoted above. I 'invented' nothing.

You claim that when the Constitution says "Congress" what it really means is "everybody."

False claim. You're imagining I wrote that.

When the Constitution means "states" it says "states." When it means something even more specific, it says "state legislatures." That was a critical issue in the Bush/Florida case.

Yep, and the supremacy clause says that States are "bound thereby" to the "Law of the Land", which includes our BOR's.

You are taking the approach that the Constitution means whatever I say it means.

More false imagination on your part.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could not have said it better. So, you see the "issue" really is your personal stupidity. Or are you so blind and foolish that you cannot see that?

John, you probably have an immunity from being suspended for personal remarks. - I don't. -- If I were to answer your insults in kind, I might even be permanently banned.
-- I appreciate that you can't rationally stick to the issue, but I would also appreciate it if you would stop with the "stupidity" remarks. For one thing, they display your own.

I believe in honesty. On the subject of the Constitution, you ARE stupid. Not just confused, but world-class stupid.

Ask to have me banned, if you choose. I won't ask to have you banned. I gather from others that you are amusing. I take the Constitution too seriously to find you amusing. But others do.

Have a nive day.
