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"?
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...
