"THAT'S where the problem lies. That's why we're so lucky that the 2nd amendment is not incorporated. Can you imagine the USSC defining "arms", or "bear" or "keep"? They might, for example, define "arms" as rifles only, or "bear arms" as not concealed, or "keep" as in a state armory. That interpretation would then apply to each and every state equally."

I see your point here. The only solution I see is for someone to sue the state or the fedguv on a gun violation for deprivation of rights. No one would argue that the right to life is not an unalienable right. Whether I choose to use a gun or or a knife or a baseball bat is my business. At my age and physical condition, I would choose a fully automatic pistol, and would probably choose to coneal it as to not freak out everyone when I go to the bank or the deli.

Oh, that's been done. Recently we've had Silveira v Lockyer (a state case) and US v Emerson (a federal case).

The USSC refused to hear either case.
