And until then, it only applies to the federal government. Which is what I said. Hello? Anyone able to read out there? Hello?

Wrong. Until then it is undecided, in the absence of any decision rejecting incorporation. The premise of common law is that an issue of first impression does not change the law, it merely recognizes it.

Correct. The second amendment only applied to the federal government from the day it was written. Until something comes along to change that, and nothing has yet, it remains.

Which, again, is what I said.
