They can when the "shall not be infringed" doesn't apply to them...

And as I've repeatedly shown, it most certainly does. It wasn't until damn near the 20th century that courts interpreted this differently.

The Founders saw it as an unalienable Right of every Free man. Now morons like you and your beloved liberal courts want to change it.

Guess what? There is a process for doing so. It's called the Amendment process. Anything else violates the Constitution that every State in the Union must abide by. It cannot be any other way and us still consider ourselves a Republic.

That you fight so hard against this makes you not only anti-Constitution, but anti-Union as well. And anti-Rights. And anti-gun. Any other Rights you want to do away with Bobby?

"It wasn't until damn near the 20th century that courts interpreted this differently."

United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 was an 1875 case where the U.S. Supreme Court stated that the 2nd Amendment "has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government".

So that's damn near the 19th century.

"The Founders saw it as an unalienable Right of every Free man."

Unalienable? No. An individual right secured by the states, yes.
