...every lower federal court...

Bliss. Nunn. Cockrum. Chandler. Beard. Brown. Kramer. Emmerson.

Don't you ever get tired of spewing the same old lies?

Your affirmative answer will come shortly, even if he ignores your actual question.

When a second amendment case finally comes before them, the U.S. Supreme Court will examine lower federal circuit court opinions. The 5th Circuit Court's opinion in Emerson is the only one I'm aware of that stated an individual RKBA was protected under the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Bliss v. Commonwealth was an 1822 Kentucky State Supreme Court case rendering an opinion on state law under the state constitution.

In 1846 in Nunn v. State, the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the second amendment PLUS the rights protected by the Georgia State Constitution allowed for open carry by individuals.

Cockrum v. State was an 1859 case decided by the Texas Supreme Court.

State v. Chandler was an 1850 case decided by the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Beard v. United States was an 1895 U.S. Supreme Court case, but it had nothing to do with the second amendment.

Brown v. State was a 1901 case decided by the Supreme Court of Georgia. Or, if you were referring to People v. Brown, that was a 1931 case decided by the Michigan Supreme Court.

Shelly v. Kramer was a 1947 U.S. Supreme Court case, but it, too, had nothing to do with the second amendment.

What a complete waste of my time. These are state cases.

No federal court has ruled that the second amendment applies to the states -- for a state supreme court to comment on the definition of the second amendment is ludicrous. It has no meaning. It makes no difference what the state court thinks -- the second amendment doesn't apply.

Do you have any other lower federal circuit court decisions like Emerson? From the 1st circuit court, 2nd circuit court, 3rd circuit court, etc? If not, I rest my case.
