What am I reasoning? I'm not reasoning anything--I'm just quoting from the Constitution.

Do you dispute the text? Do you think it means something other than what it says?

Do you think when it says "the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby" actually means "the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, except when they really don't feel like following the Constituion?"

Seriously, what is the point of having a Constitution if the members of the government aren't bound by it? Why have it at all if the judges are free to disregard it willy-nilly?

And if our governance was as cut-and-dried as you propose, there would be not one law infringing on the private ownership of firearms in the entire country.

I do not accept your "throwing myself on the mercy of the court, because I'm an orphan now that I've killed my parents" argument. Do I dispute the text? No. Do I think it means something other than what it says? No, I think it means something other than what YOU say it says. Simple as that.
