"How would Virginians' RKBA be made less secure by having the Second Amendment apply to Virginia?"

"How are ANY of our Rights "infringed" or reduced by having our central government say that no State, nor the FedGov itself, may remove full use of that Right save by due process from criminal proceedings in court?"

Very simple. Congress can ban handguns -- the USSC then decides that "arms" as defined in the second amendment excludes handguns. Since the second amendment applies now to Virginia, turn 'em in.

But... but... Congress wouldn't do that robertpaulsen! Yeah, and Congress wouldn't ban "assault-style" weapons either.

I see. Since the Second Amendment is not incorporated, the 1994 AW ban does not apply to Virginia.

However, if the Second Amendment were incorporated, the 1994 AW ban would apply to Virginia.

Your grasp of the Constitution continues to amaze.

And if they do so, does that make them Right? Or in Error? What is the publics last recourse against governmental tyranny?

You are hopeless...
