Banning them one at a time is progress to you? You see... this is why most here label you a TROLL.
Who said anything about "progress"? Would your progressive scheme to impose a nationwide concealed carry ban in the name of the 2nd Amendment be an example of "progress"?
You demand answers while refusing to answer any yourself.
You say it depends on the answer to the question. How will the answer to that question affect the meaning of the Second Amendment? Please tell us.
Answer it and find out.
Don’t be ashamed.
Not wasting my time with it.
How does ruling the Second an inalienable individual Right do that? As I stated, only active duty militia could be "regulated" in how they could carry arms. No general ban could be implemented.
Have you tried to get your carry permit in Cali? Unless you are politically connected... Good Luck. So much for your idiot "State laws" protecting sh&t...
Under an individual Right, you could tell Babs Boxer and DiFi to get bent...
Trying to draw a corollary between law abiding gun owners and your pet Mara’s is a bit extreme. Even for a dirtbag like you.
The decision you're promoting explicitly excepts concealed carry from 2nd Amendment protection. You centralized government freaks are so transparent.
The question before the court is "collective" vs "individual" Right and if the Second can be used as a defense against such legislation.
Plainly, it can. The Second Amendment should be an affirmative defense in all cases regarding individual ownership and carry of arms. Regardless of which State, colony, or district of the US they live in. As it was designed to be.
You aren't even paying attention to the argument are you? You just read off the list of Brady approved arguing points... and go along your merry way.
And you're promoting the view that concealed carry is not an individual right under the 2nd Amendment and that it may be banned nationally, abrogating all state laws protecting that right.
If the dress fits, don't be afraid to wear it, Sarah.
Twisting words is a critical job skill in DC. It’s been raised to an art form by the professionals.
Well... I guess if you took everything I've ever said on the subject, and then reversed it 180 degrees... you could come to that conclusion.
I mean, seriously... how the gibbering f*ck do you come up with that? At all?
Listen... last time: The Second Amendment protects an inalienable, unalienable, un-infringable Right. If you are a GOVERNMENT paid military person, they can order how you wear your armaments. If you are a CIVILIAN not acting in an official capacity, you can wear what you want, how you want, without having to ask anyone else's permission. No one in either Federal or State government can tell you sh*t.
Now stop it already. Seriously. This is bordering on dementia on your part.
This isn’t “twisting”, this is twisted. This guy isn’t even as “smart” a troll as Bobby is. He’s like one of those kids back in grade school who thought his annoying behavior made him “cool”. In reality, the little booger-eater was the butt of every joke.
Pretty much all your posts in a nutshell.
The Second Amendment protects an inalienable, unalienable, un-infringable Right.
Federal preemption of state laws protecting concealed carry is a right? Maybe to you and Sarah.
The only "pre-emption" that could possibly take place would be overturning your beloved California gun bans.
Don't fear the freedom troll...
Personally, I think the fact that he’s a former professional federal bureaucrat helps explain how DC, and the RKBA got in the shape it’s in. You don’t get ahead in that culture believing in limited government, and telling the truth. And you don’t spend a career there and just turn it off when you retire. He’s our own little piece of the beltway.
And furthermore, it should apply the 2nd Amendment to protect individuals from oppression by the states, using the 14th Amendment.
Backed by your word.

My understanding is that Miller was dead, and his lawyer didn’t even get notified.
The fix was in, I tell ya.
Still, the SCOTUS knew that they were being railroaded, so they wrote in a few weasel words to make life difficult for the Roosevelt Administration in their attempts to use it as precedent. Important to know the time frame re: FDR’s court packing scheme.
