False? So the Fifth Circuit didn't rule that the 2A is an "individual Right"? That is what this case was based on. The Ninth ruled that it is a "collective Right". So you agree with them that the Second Amendment is a collective Right.

Got it. Thank you for clearing up your opinion.

False, as always.

As 5th Circuit Judge Robert M. Parker pointed out in his concurring opinion in United States v. Emerson, "The determination whether the rights bestowed by the Second Amendment are collective or individual is entirely unnecessary to resolve this case and has no bearing on the judgment we dictate by this opinion."

Your own utter failure to produce even a single case or authority holding that state or local regulation is violative of the 2nd Amendment demonstrates the poverty of your argument.
