I was just going to supply that history lesson, also. Thanks.
I remember in a 3rd year law school class, a prof thought he caught me daydreaming and asked a loaded question (A Real Estate Transactions class, I think) which I answered by correctly describing what you described in your post, which caused the class to giggle because 1. the prof looked like an idiot as I was not unprepared as he thought, and 2. it was clear from the looks on the faces of most of my classmates that they didn't understand the nature of the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment vis a vis the states.
One of my many fun and funny law school memories!
Today, the State of CA claims it can prohibit 'assault weapons'. Do you agree?
A strong argument can be made that, even after the 14th Amendment, the Constitution should not be interepreted to incorporate the 1st Amendment and apply it to the states.
Yep, and using the same arguments, -- "the Constitution should not be interpreted to incorporate the 2nd Amendment and apply it to the states." --
Do you approve, 'CalRepublican'?

Amazingly, Cal did approve, admitting that Ca can prohibit 'assault weapons' in his view.
Do you think the same way 'Hitman'? Is our 2nd amendment infringeable by States like CA?
