[Roscoe]

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

Neither said anything about state regulations of firearms being barred by the 2nd Amendment.

BTW, I noticed that you finally correctly noted that Harlan's remarks came from a dissent. Congratutlations on the step, albeit a small one, in the direction of honesty.

Daft. - Dissent or not, Harlan is an authority, and in the portion I quoted, he clearly mentions the right to bear arms as being protected by the 14th.

Life, liberty, and property [firearms are fundamentaly guaranteed property] are protected by the 14th, as Bingham noted:

"The great object of the first section of this amendment is, therefore, to restrain the power of the States and compel them at all times to respect these great fundamental guarantees."
