I'm not interested in a blanket incorporation nor do I make the claim that any case has accomplished that. Nevertheless, I have not heard a convincing argument that the right to keep and bear arms is not deserving of "incorporation".

Our Founders were criminal traitors under the existing laws of the colonies and were forced in many case to steal from their own government the arms used to establish our nation. That they had any intention of tolerating the government being in the business of infringing the right to keep and bear arms is laughable.

That our Founders considered the right to keep and bear arms about as basic and essential for maintaining freedom as anything can be is indicated by the importance given to that right by enumeration in our Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment does not create that pre-existing right.

I can't see how anybody truly motivated by a desire to preserve liberty can justify any state infringing the right to keep and bear arms.
