There is also this one:
Art 4
Section. 2. The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

As it is an "enumerated Right", this Right should extend via this mechanism, and the others, to ALL US citizens who have not had their Rights removed via due process in a criminal proceeding.

Unless of course, our government considers us all "criminals"... in which case the government itself would need to be disabused of that notion.

Color me a 2nd Amendment absolutist, in fact, I am pretty much of an absolutist about the whole %&^$ Constitution. Not that the judges and legislators have ever let the actual words/meaning of the document stop them from doing what they wanted.

From the Dred Scott decision, "...For if they [blacks] were so received, and entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police regulations which they considered to be necessary for their own safety. It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went."
