Bliss v. Commonwealth was an 1822 Kentucky State Supreme Court case rendering an opinion on state law under the state constitution.
In 1846 in Nunn v. State, the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the second amendment PLUS the rights protected by the Georgia State Constitution allowed for open carry by individuals.
Cockrum v. State was an 1859 case decided by the Texas Supreme Court.
State v. Chandler was an 1850 case decided by the Louisiana Supreme Court.
Beard v. United States was an 1895 U.S. Supreme Court case, but it had nothing to do with the second amendment.
Brown v. State was a 1901 case decided by the Supreme Court of Georgia. Or, if you were referring to People v. Brown, that was a 1931 case decided by the Michigan Supreme Court.
Shelly v. Kramer was a 1947 U.S. Supreme Court case, but it, too, had nothing to do with the second amendment.
What a complete waste of my time. These are state cases.
No federal court has ruled that the second amendment applies to the states -- for a state supreme court to comment on the definition of the second amendment is ludicrous. It has no meaning. It makes no difference what the state court thinks -- the second amendment doesn't apply.
Do you have any other lower federal circuit court decisions like Emerson? From the 1st circuit court, 2nd circuit court, 3rd circuit court, etc? If not, I rest my case.
I'd ask you to make up your mind, but I know such is useless. Your mind is already made up and you MUST hold up your Brady Gun Control logic at all costs or you don't get your bonus this week.
We understand your position perfectly.
No federal court has ruled that the second amendment applies to the states --
Which other parts of the Constitution require a Federal Court to rule on them before they apply? Does a court need to rule on all new legislation passed by Congress before it applies to the States?
You jsut keep getting worse and worse over the years.
Your opinion that a State court opinion is "ludicrous", is itself ludicrous. -- They have meaning, but solely as opinions.. "-- Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, [to support the 2nd] any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. --"
Do you have any other lower federal circuit court decisions like Emerson?
None are necessary, - as the Constitution itself is clear on the subject. --- Court decisions do not supersede our supreme Law of the Land.
