To the extent that non-whites, women, and the propertyless were excluded from the protections afforded to “the people,” the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is understood to have corrected that initial constitutional shortcoming."
-- US v Parker

Well, then, your whole attempt to assert limitations on who comprise "the people" whose RKBA is guaranteed by the Second Amendment has been mooted by case law. So why are you even bothering, unless you derive some perverse satisfaction from making an ass of yourself in public?

I’ve been wondering that myself. He has admitted his “the people = the voters of 1792” view has been rendered moot by the 14th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment, and the 19th Amendment, and the 24th Amendment, and the 26th Amendment. Case law has enforced the position that “the people” consists of no less than adult non-felon citizens. ...yet he won’t let go of the “white male citizen landowner” thing.
