[Texas Federalist]

Hhhmm.... the Preamble per se, I'd agree. However, the full text of the legislation is instructive.

I actually meant the first clause of the Second Amendment. I guess preamble is the wrong word.

[Dead Corpse]

There are two clauses in the text of the Second Amendment. The prefatory clause, and the operative clause. The prefatory clause is merely a "for instance" type of thing. The operative clause is the actual "meat" of the text. The Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Full stop.

It's a right of the people and it shall not be infringed. By anyone.

The only way to "remove" someones access to their Rights is via incarceration for crimes that person may have committed. Simply making possession or carrying of arms a criminal offense via legislation "offends" the Seconds Constitutional protection.

Federal law. State law. Local ordnance. Home owners association. School board. Not a single one has "authority" to infringe an individuals RKBA.

Past due time to remind them all of this...
