In the sense that all of our rights, liberties, privileges & immunities, and life itself can be taken away by Constitutional due process of law, paulsen, --- yes.
I doubt that even you can dispute that.
Now again, answer the question..
-Why- do you see requiring due process as being "perverted"?
It makes no sense to want a State to have the power to ignore due process.
What kind of a statement is that? Geez, tpaine, it also makes no sense to WANT a State to have the power to torture little kittens, either.
Exactly right paulsen, it makes no sense, so why do you claim that States have the power to ignore our BOR's & the 14th Amendments due process clause?
It's perverted to find some subjective "fundamental right to liberty" covered by the due process clause of the 14th amendment and then to selectively apply portions of the BOR to the states.
You're merely chanting "its perverted".. Can you tell us why?
This process gave us abortion, sodomy, nude dancing, and a host of other inexplicable and twisted decisions made by a judicial oligarchy.
That's your delusion, not a factual comment.
You're saying that a "citizen of the United States", not even a citizen of a state, has the RKBA?
Millions of US Citizens did, & still do, -- in all territories of the USA.
Sheesh. That gives them more rights than an Illinois citizen living in Chicago.
Exactly one of my points. -- 'Equal protection' means that all citizens should have an uninfringed RKBA's, irregardless of which state or territory they happen to be passing through.
Our present day mishmash of local/state/fed gun 'laws' are a Constitutional nightmare. -- One you advocate. -- Why is that true?
And where did I "claim" any such thing? I have no idea what "our BOR's" even means.
