[Dead Corpse]

We've been over this time and again. And still you cling to the same old sorry line. A bit early to be drinking that heavy isn't it?

Very well...

Article. IV.
Section. 2. The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Article. VI.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

As can be plainly seen above, and the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers prove out, the above portions of the Constitution make the powers of the fedGov strictly limited. It also puts the Amendments listed in the BoR off limits to any government body, State or Federal, as they are protections for some of the more basic Rights of Man.

I suppose now you'll pull out some twisted court decision or even your tired old Dred Scott bullsh*t to bolster your opnion?

"I suppose now you'll pull out some twisted court decision"

I can. I can cite a dozen court decisions that support my contention. But I don't need to.

All I need to do is have you answer one simple question. Your answer is the proof that the second amendment does not apply to the states. I'll ask it again, since you refused to answer it the first time.

The Equal Protection Clause(certainly Due Process) says that if the citizens of Vermont have concealed carry, then it would be unconstitutional for other states to deny that second amendment right to their citizens. Why has that NEVER been brought up in any court, anywhere, anytime?

Barron v Baltimore held that the BoR did NOT apply to the states. It would have never been ratified if it had since the States had established religions and other violations of the BoR. Southern states prevented the spread of anti-slavery newspapers, books and magazines by seizing them from the mail, closing down presses, etc. Only after the 14th amendment was the BoR applicable to the states.
