"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

And federal infringement would take away the ability of the towns, counties or districts of a state to determine how arms were to be regulated, directed and commanded by their laws, and for the support of their laws, so as not to demolish every state constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty could be enjoyed by no man.

"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)

Of course, the invitation still stands to produce even a single cite or authority contending that state regulation of firearms is barred by the 2nd Amendment.

The authority was cited.
- Justice Harlan, in his 'Poe' dissent.
--Rep. Bingham on the 14th.

Feel free to rebut their reasoning, and the fact that the 14th was ratified to protect ALL of our rights from state/local violations.

Only in regards to the militia you f%cking moron. How many times does it have to be stated that the Founders believed it to be an inalienable Right that NO GOVERNMENT could touch. Go back and re-read the thread for sources.

You are unbelievable...
