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?

I've never said there was case law supporting my position. I'm arguing based on the text in Article I, Sec. 8.

Do you agree that the Militia in 1787 consisted of all able bodied men?

Did the Founders consider an armed citizenry necessary to national security?

Does it make sense that the Founders assigned control of the Militia to Congress and also meant that States could endanger national security by disarming citizens?
