"Paulsen, do you really believe that the Founding Fathers gave our government the power to defend us against infringements of our RKBA's"

No, I don't.

I believe that the Founding Fathers restricted the power of the federal government to infringe on our RKBA.

They left it to each state to protect that right, along with free speech, freedom from unreasonable searches, a right to an attorney, and any other right the citizens of a particular state wished to protect.

That's called "federalism". Learn your history.

Paulsen, you don't really believe that the Founding Fathers gave our government the power to defend us against infringements of our RKBA's?

No, I don't. I believe that the Founding Fathers restricted the power of the federal government to infringe on our RKBA.

Only the feds aye? We the people, citizens of the USA, have no protection from the unconstitutional infringements of a rogue State like CA? -- Bet me.

They left it to each state to protect that right, along with free speech, freedom from unreasonable searches, a right to an attorney, and any other right the citizens of a particular state wished to protect.

There you go again with your bizarre theory that our inalienable rights can be infringed upon by States of the Union, who are pledged to uphold the Law of the Land.

That's called "federalism". Learn your history.

I call your anti-constitutional concepts by harsher names, but you call such opinions 'abuse'. Got anyone banned lately?
