Cite, please.

Cite what? The non-existent clause in the Constitution that authorizes the FedGov to even run an organization like the BATFE? How do you quote something that doesn't exist? Absent the power being delegated to the FedGov, they can take no legitimate action. Hence, everything the BATFE does, is illegal.

You REALLY need to figure out what the whole Constitution thingie did. You don't appear to have a clue.

You faked the "quotation", not her.

You didn't read the decision did you... Poor you. Ignorance is curable. Unfortunately, you appear stupid as well which could limit your options...

It was a "positive" ruling by Ginsberg as regards to the language of the BoR and its scope. She could hardly go back on such language since they quote her directly in the Parker/Heller decision.

It'd mean she either lied then, or would be lying now...

You’re too obsessed with your dream of centralized limited government...

Now it's accurate. Why do you hate the idea of re-instating a general prohibition on ALL government within the United States? Far from creating more government power, it removes power from ALL governments to infringe on a fundamental Right.

I still think you are just another gun hating liar. Bent on obfuscating things as much as possible. No one can see the historical evidence and come to any other rational conclusion unless they are just another big government shill.

It is loaded

False. It incorporates no false premises. It's simple and direct.

Your refusal to answer speaks to the poverty of your position, nothing else.

Are the Crips and the Bloods militias?

You seem to think I have some obligation to dignify your drivel with an answer. Not going to happen. Deal with it.

Backwards. I support protective laws in every state; you hate federalism and are obsessed with imposing a judicially created national hegemony. Right now many states protect concealed carry, which would be swept away by your twisted interpretation of the "Nunn" decision.

You're ashamed of your position. I get it.

I’m not interested in exchanging personal attacks or answering your loaded questions.

Yes, the SC decision might affect state and local laws,

And the entire thread is discussion of the posted article which explicitly set out that premise.

"We’re already subject to a collectivist interpretation of the 2A, unless we live in the DC District or the 5th Circuit. That means that the 2A does exactly nothing for an individual like me. How is that going to get worse?"

False. I'm calling your bluff. Prove that all state laws subject us to a "collectivist interpretation of the 2A", whatever that nebulous phrase might mean.

Like those in Kalifornistan? All of those laws need to be "swept away". Starting with the .50 ban and the new idiotic microstamping bill.

Give it a rest troll... EVERY State finally giving the Second Amendment it's due should be the goal. Not piecemeal efforts at the State level that the FedGov would still be free to use some idiotic tax power to circumvent.

Do away with ALL prohibitions on RKBA. Federal and State. Only then will we meet the "Founding Intent".

Millions of gun owners here. Thousands of stores and ranges.

Ignorance is curable. Read a book.

You figure a few hundred of those will get that thread moved to some obscure corner of the site?

Really? What do the Bloods and the Crips have to do with whether the right to keep and bear arms is a collective or individual right?

That depends on whether you hold them to be part of the militia or not. And you're so ashamed of your position that you won't say.

Tell us, how does that alter the right to keep and bear arms?
