No because the 14th Amendment was not in the intentions of the Founders, much like the 16th and 17th which not only changed the Constitution, it invalidated much of what they had planned for this nation as seen not only in the Federalist papers, but the Anti-Federalist papers as well. As pointed out previously, the stateS had these notices in their constitutions and until the 14th Amendment it had never been challenged. Now considering that many of these documents were written during or after the framing of the Constitution (because it would be folly to put something into their state documents that they knew would quickly be overturned if challenged in court), I imagine that their writers knew what the Founders had in mind better than you

Very well, you defend the power of a state to write law that overrules the bill of rights, correct?

California is currently doing so, [violating the 2nd], because it has no such RTKBA law in its constitution.

Do you support Californias violations of our 2nd amendment?
