I don't know that I disagree with the elements of your post. That said, the question still remains where are the safeguards of our individual RKBA? I prefer a state based version where each state is allowed to establish it's own version. This is a pragmatic decision since I believe it would be more difficult to change all of the state constitutions rather than changing one federal constitution. Of course, if my state changed it's constitution, I would still be free to move to another state. And, I believe this is more consitent with the original vision of the founding fathers. Of course, you mileage may vary, as they say.

I like what we have in Texas also. Texas does not look to DC to keep our rights

The Texas Constitution

Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS

Section 23 - RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS

Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.
