The STATES are the ones charged with enacting and enforcing the CRIMINAL STATUTES, One Note Johnny. The Feds have EXTREMELY LIMITED authority, which is as it should be. If you have a problem with our Constitution, just say so. Otherwise, deal with it.

My copy of the Constitution states as its crowning purpose the securing of the blessings of liberty to posterity. It also says that NO PERSON shall be deprived of life without a fair trial. Twice. It also enjoins that specifically on the States, along with the imperative demand that the States provide for the equal protection of the laws to ALL PERSONS in their jurisdiction. I have no idea what you copy says. Maybe those critical portions have been excised out.

It also contains a guarantee of a Republican form of government to all the States. Exactly what do you think a Republican form of government is, in the American context? Is it just a form, or must it include the spirit and the soul of our nation’s foundational laws? Can any truly American Republican State allow the destruction of what the Founders called God-given and therefore unalienable and still be in fact considered American?

By the way, you didn’t answer the question. Again. Do you think any particular State can outlaw the keeping and bearing of arms, for example?
