I am going on record as saying that the Second amendment was not designed even to affect States and Localities since the Bill of Rights only applied to FEDERAL legislation. It does not mean you can carry a gun EVERYWHERE all the time. Like ANY right it is subject to conditions which the people through legislative enactments can impose. Criminal gangs do NOT have a right to arm. Felons do NOT have a right to arm. Children do NOT have a right to arm except under careful supervision. Students do NOT have a right to bring their guns into a classroom.

The greatest danger to the Second is those who believe crazy crap like it gives you to right to have a bomb or a biological weapon. Lack of commonsense is a far greater threat to the Second than reasonable people.

JMC also believes that his personal judgment can be substituted for Article III of the Constitution.

the Bill of Rights only applied to FEDERAL legislation.

Therefore, according to your logic, the BATFags were enforcing laws which YOU claim are unconstitutional. Why are you defending them on this thread?

Those are artillary, not arms. "Arms" is defined as any weapon that might be carried by an infantryman in a given era.

So why did they also put in a "Supreme Law of the Land" clause and argue about the scope of the Federal Constitution, and all attendant Amendments, over-riding State powers? That to not have it set up that way would make executing any Federal authority at all impossible?

Or will you know cite Cruickshank, a clear case of legislating from the bench if ever the was one, as proof that the Founders didn't mean exactly what they said?

You gun haters are all alike...
