"and am curious why you are so hell-bent on crushing the notion of RKBA as an individual right"

I'm not. The right to keep and bear arms IS a natural right. I am hell-bent on crushing the notion that the second amendment protects that individual right. It doesn't. It never did.

The federal courts have consistently said that the second amendment protects only against federal infringement. The have said that it protects the right of the state to form an armed citizens's militia.

Your individual RKBA is protected by your state and only by your state. If we are to protect our individual RKBA, don't you think it's important to know who's protecting that right?

That's great Bobby, except for the part where it is a complete fabrication.

If it's a pre-existing Natural Right, then how the hell can a mere State infringe on it any more than the FedGov? And why do you approve of the Federal BATFE prohibitions via tax law/commerce clause "penumbras" and "emanations"?

Just admit you don't like Individual RKBA and that you want everyone disarmed. At least then, your idiotic multi-years long quest to get us to swallow your bullsh*t would make logical sense.

If you don't like Individual Rights, why the hell are you here at all?

Are you asserting that the U.S. Constitution is not the Supreme Law of The Land?

If that's the case, you're doing a lousy job of getting the point across. I've followed hundreds of your posts on the subject, and nobody is concluding that's what you mean.
