"The Second Amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress." -- US Supreme Court, U.S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875), Presser v. State of Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886)

Roscoe,
Boiling your citation down to its most basic tenet:
Usurpation of the Constitution by the States is, in fact, constituional???

I don't think so.
And - if it is so - well, in the words of Jailbird Congressman James Trafficant: "Beam me up, Scotty!"
