Justice Thomas was commenting on a case regarding federal law. He said nothing about state law.

All here agree, with Thomas, that our right to bear arms is a fundamental personal right, not to be infringed.

Thus, it defies both common sense & common law to claim that States have been granted the legal power to infringe upon such basic rights.

Justice Thomas used the term "personal right to keep and bear arms".

How can there be a personal RKBA if a State or local government can violate it?
