Wrong. The 'people' have no such authority to so delegate, -- under our republican form of Constitutional government.

It defies all common sense to write a Constitution for a United States, then claim that separate States can ignore its Amendments protecting individual rights. It is constitutionally illegitimate for a state to infringe on our RKBA's.

If I thought as you do, that the supremacy clause applies the BOR to the states, then I would agree. But I don't.
