You're of course right. Most people here do not realize that the 2nd Amendment only applies to the federal government. Unless of course the SCOTUS does something about it.

This type of thinking is what is wrong with our country. The American people have been brainwashed to the point that they think the Constitution is a useless piece of paper and the only rights 300 million people have are those that 12 elitist agenda driven politicians in black robes say we have.

They have convinced the majority of us that we are too dumb to read and comprehend a document and the history around it, that has been around over two hundred years.

The Bill of Rights was made part of the Constitution and the Constitution became the law of the land .

Every state that ratified it agreed to and accepted the provisions contained within it.

Just because some guy in robe hasn't pronounced his blessing on all of them doesn't mean that they don't exist.

The rights are there even though we have let them be,ignored,abused, twisted, and perverted for political gain and personal agendas.

As far as the right to bear arms is concerned most of the sates also have it in some form in their state constitutions.

Also BTW from looking at this page it seems we have been brainwashed to think that abortion is only a privacy issue.

For some of us it is not. For some of us it is about the right to life of an innocent human being.

If someone's right to swing their fist ends a another's nose then why do we allow a baby in the moment of birth to have it's brain punctured so people can make money off their body parts and their mother won't be inconvenienced.

Provisions that applied exclusively to the federal government.
