"and despite any State 'laws' to the Contrary."

The quote clearly says to the extent that a state offers it's own citizens.

paulsen qoutes Taney:

"It would give to persons of the negro race, …the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, …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."

Yep, in 1857, the Dred Scott decision clearly said that people could keep & carry arms "wherever they went", -- exactly as per the 2nd, and despite any State 'laws' to the Contrary.

That pesky quote destroys the idiotic majority rule position you boyos advocate.

The quote clearly says to the extent that a state offers it's own citizens.

Apparently you imagine the underlined portion on speech authorizes restrictions on carrying arms? -- Weird & wishful thinking robbie.
