"Marshalling an impressive array of historical evidence, a growing body of scholarly commentary indicates that the 'right to keep and bear arms' is, as the Amendment's text suggests, a personal right."

Is it your position that a State can violate a personal right?

Again -- I thought you were NOT relying on the BOR for the gun rites?

Article I, Sec. 8 is sufficient to keep the States from endangering national security by disarming the Militia. Do you agree?

Didn't I JUST cover this??? Didn't 7 of the original 13 states have state supported churches? Again -- the states could indeed ignore the BOR and they did indeed ignore the BOR. You just admitted that you are aware of the case law. Are you? For 100 years the states, the fed gov, and the supreme court allowed the states to violate personal rights all the time.

Obviously I don't agree. And again -- nobody in the entire history of the globe has ever agreed. Have you found anybody yet?
