Article XIV.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.



I don't see where the 2nd amendment is carved out by the 14th. This seems to me a good case to use to reinforce that the 2nd amendment is covered by the 14th.

Thats because it's not, the second stands on it's own and incorporation by the 14th is neither necessary nor desirable.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Massachustees is infringing, not regualting. Good case for SCOTUS when Alito gets there.
