You are the one so fond of referring to various federal court rulings that are consistent with a power of Congress to infringe the individual right to keep and bear arms.
Let's get on the record the following: "robertpaulsen is of the opinion that the Second Amendment is not a bar to Congress disarming an 85-year-old woman living alone in her home. That the Founders did not intend to deprive Congress of that power."
I already stated my opinion that such an 85-year-old woman would be among "the people" in the Second Amendment. Slaves were not among the people at the time of our nation's founding, but their right to keep and bear arms at such time as they were emancipated was clearly stated in Dred Scott.
Identify where Congress gets the power to disarm an 85-year-old woman living alone in her home. You can't. You're rambling.
You're making up silly hypotheticals that have no basis in fact just to get a reaction. Isn't that called trolling?
"I already stated my opinion that such an 85-year-old woman would be among "the people" in the Second Amendment."
Well, of course. If you believe the second amendment protects an individual RKBA, then that would include 85-year-old women.
And I'll just go ahead and assume you mean every person has the right (since you refused to answer my question) -- non-citizens, felons, parolees, illegals, foreign visitors, 4-year-old children, and the insane.
Do YOU want to go record with that?
The Founding Fathers did not expect 85-year-old women to need that right protected since 85-year-old women were not expected to defend the country. If the state wishes to protect her right, they certainly may. [or, - may not]

I'm surprised that the statist nit has not been picked that Congress "barred" the lady from having a gun.
