The states have given Congress the express 14th Amendment (14A) power to make penal laws to discourage state actors from abridging any of our constitutionally enumerated rights, including 2A.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 shown above, had included 2A when he read the Bill of Rights as main examples of privileges and immunities that 14A applies to the states.
John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about in middle of 2nd column.)
Also consider that the Supreme Court had indicated that 14A gives Congress the power to strengthen constitutionally enumerated protections.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

We’re still stick with a worthless Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably continue to sit on its hands while renegade states oppress citizens by trying to take our guns away.

Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 election that will not only promise to fully support PDJT’s already excellent work for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do the following.
New patriot lawmakers also need to promise to exercise their express 14A power to make penal laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, including 2A.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
Sadly, the Slaughterhouse cases nuked the Privileges and Communities clause...
