THE UNABRIDGED SECOND AMENDMENT

[Pontiac]

So now we have been told by one of the top experts on American usage what many knew all along: the Constitution of the United States unconditionally protects the people's right to keep and bear arms, forbidding all governments formed under the Constitution from abridging that right.

The above is from the article linked by you to the thread.

It is incorrect.

As ratified the Constitution of 1787 and the Bill of Rights were restrictions on the power of the Federal Government only as the STATES were independent and Sovereign Nations.

It was not until the end of the Civil War, the ratification of the 14th Amendment and the imposing of the Incorporation Doctrine that it came to be that the limitations of the Bill of Rights was seen as also imposing limitations on the actions of the States.
