(The Supreme Court cannot support gun control abortion with a decision because any decision they might make would likely invalidate gun abortion laws in half the states of the Union.) Hmmmmm.

Even IF the Second Amendment refers to an individual right to keep and bear arms, it still only applies to federal law. Silveira v. Lockyer involved state law, and the second amendment does not apply to state law.

I guess I'd better stop citing actual cases to you since all you do is shrug them off as "judicial error". Why do I bother?

From now on, let's just discuss how we "feel" about an issue. Wouldn't that be fun?

You have once again failed to respond to the critical few facts, which I enumerated, which would help one understand what you are saying.

With this response you fail to address how it was possible for the US Supreme Court to refer to the right to keep and bear arms as one of the privileges and immunities of a free person in the Dred Scott decision. They did not say that Dred Scott would only be immune from federal infringement, they said he would be able to carry a gun wherever he went.

You also use "Even IF the Second Amendment refers to an individual right", confirming my suspicion that you are among those who depend upon the mutually inconsistent body of judicial error which supports the disarmament of Americans.

Bizarre ~hmmmm~ indeed, paulsen.
Once again you've hoisted yourself up as the fool.
