The 2nd amendment simply (and rightly ) states, "shall not be infringed"

"The Second Amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress." -- US Supreme Court, U.S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875), Presser v. State of Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886)

The above antiquated, statist view of the RTKBA's is exactly the one so elegantly rebuked by 'Emerson'.

-- Why do you approve of our state governments having the capability to infringe the 2nd, Roscoe?
