Yep. Spouting the same old crap too...

"The Bill of Rights, as written, only limited the federal government." They wine idiotically.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Amendments 1-10 of the Constitution
The Conventions of a number of the States having, at the time of adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution;
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States; all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the said Constitution, namely:

"As part of the said Constitution"... At the time, this would have already included the "laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding" clause of Art 6 para 2.

This was all the incorporation needed. In pre-civil war times, this was perverted by the Judiciary to uphold unConstitutional and racist gun control laws to keep slaves and newly freed-men from carrying arms.

It was never fully corrected. Now, those who hate individual Rights and firearms use these same racist arguments to further pervert the Constitution and destroy our freedoms.

They are the Enemy. They are Traitors. Plain and simple.
