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.

Protected against what? Supreme Court hasn't even said that abortion can't be regulated or that abortionists may commit their acts unlicensed.

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

And he did NOT say that state regulation of firearms violated such 14th Amendment "protections."

Begging ain't sources.

Being violated by states, of course.

-----------------------------

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."

And he did NOT say that state regulation of firearms violated such 14th Amendment "protections."

Southern states at the time were violating the RKBA's of ex-slaves.
- Now, all states [except Vermont?], are violating our RKBA's, in one 'regulation' or another, as you well know.

Infringement from idiot tyrant wanna-be's like you who feel that some freedoms are not good for the little people to have.

You are so like Clinton in that regard. "Radical amount of Freedom" and all that. You also seem to feel no shame over your lies and attempted deceptions.
