And the rest of the "fact" (the salient part) is that it had NOTHING to do with the Second Amendment.

In Mohave's utopian dreamworld it does not. In the real world, Barron and Presser are effectively overruled by Gitlow and the subsequent incorporation cases and are no longer good law. Incorporation is the law, whether you like it or not, and the second amendment is one of the "fundamental rights" which is incorporated. If you want to argue based on current law, please state how the Second Amendment rights protected are not "fundamental."

Repeating a lie, however plaintively, does not convert it into a truth. Not even by numerous repetitions.
