Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the State governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original Constitution, and have expressed that intention.

And they did, when they included the phrase "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" in the 2nd. It's not a right of the people if the States can take it away. If you think the States can take away a "right of the people", please explain your legal justification for it.

It's not a right of the people if the States can take it away.

The Framers thought it was.
