I have big problems w/ this amendment.
WHY SHOULD EX-LEO'S BE GIVEN PREFFRECIAL TREATMENT WHNE IT COME TO CARRYING GUNS?
WE CAN SOLVE THIS RESLOVE THIS BY LETTING EVERYONE IN THE STATE CARRY, NOT JUST EX-LEO'S.
The second amendment does say "right to keep and bear arms... shall not be infringed". And the fourteenth says "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Thus the immunity from having one's RKBA infringed cannot be abridged by the states, and furthermore the states cannot have one rule for some and a different rule for others, at least not without some due process in there somewhere, such as conviction for a crime. Under the equal protection clause they could ban carry for everyone, but under the "P&I" clause they can't ban or even infringe upon, the carrying (ie. bearing) of arms.
