[neverdem]

I never said the second amendment was a "lame notion".

I wasn't quoting you directly, or I would have used quotation marks.

You implied the right to keep and bear arms, more honored in its breach, and effectively, made a privilege, because it's never been incorporated by a specific SCOTUS decision.

The second amendment has not been incorporated, no. In that sense, it has no effect on state law.

The right to keep and bear arms is just that, a right. Now, whether or not (and how) that right is protected by the state is another matter. Of course, we can say the same for any other fundamental right -- the right to keep and bear arms is no different.
