All of us have provided you with documentation that the second amendment does not, and never has, applied to the states.
No, you have never provided me with such factual evidence. You provide me with 'legal' opinions that are repugnant to the very principles of our Constitution.
In order to put this issue to rest, now it's your turn to provide the rest of us with your documentation that it does.
The 2nd Amendment is quite clear, as is the supremacy clause of Art. VI. It applies the Constitution/BOR's to the States, as the "Law of the Land".
And please omit the flowery quotes from speeches in the past -- quotes and 25 cents will get you a cup of coffee. I want court rulings, scholarly interpretations, specific references to the second amendment as it applies to the states. If the very best you can do is some obscure quote by Benjamin Franklin that "the people shall be armed, dagnubbit!", then we'll know that your position is based more on feelings rather than facts. This is it, tpaine, time to put up or shut up.
I've put it up, paulsen. Many times in fact.
Now it's time for YOU to refute the plain words of the supremacy clause & the 2nd.
Time to put up or shut up.
Yeah, it's called the "rule of law". As opposed to your "rule of man".
You got nothing, tpaine, nothing. The Supremacy Clause does not apply to laws that only affect the federal government. How can it possibly?
