paulsen opines:

The second amendmnent only protects us from federal infringement. States are guided solely by their state constitutions.

As we see, some people here do not agree that the US Constitution is the "law of the land", -- and worse yet - will not support and defend our supreme rule of law.

Apparently they cannot read & understand the clear words of Article VI.

Someone can't, that's for sure.

Yep, that would be you:

Article VI says the U.S. Constitution (the contract) is the law of the land. That's it.

Three paragraphs and well over a hundred words on how all officials in every state are to swear to support our supreme law, -- and you conclude, - "that's it". --- How blind can you get?

Parts of the Constitution apply to the states; parts to the federal government.

True.. We agree.

The second amendment is one of those "parts to the federal government".

That's your factions unsupported opinion paulsen. You even fought a civil war about it. Want another?
ALL of the constitutions amendments are part of our supreme 'law of the land'.

Yes they are. And they applied to the federal government only.
