Sherman, you need to read my stuff more carefully. Where do you get that I’m using the first ten amendments to invalidate certain sate laws?? I said the feds have no constitutional power over the things mentioned in the first ten amendments
Again, the first ten amendments are pointed directly at the feds, not at the states. They are a reminder of SOME of the things the feds can’t touch and the 14A does not give the feds enforcement power over them. Read post #38 when you have time.
Do you think NJ, NY, Chicago and other jurisdictions should be able to infringe on the right to bear arms as they see fit? If the first 10 amendments apply only to the federal government they can.
That’s a pretty simple question. I agree it is possible I could be misunderstanding you.
I have read post 38 and if I understand him Bork agrees with me. States can put pretty much whatever gun laws in effect they choose.
