"States can no more prohibit drugs, -- than they can guns."

Can you point out where in the California State Constitution an individual has the right to keep and bear arms? I'll save you the time. It's nowhere to be found.

California did not "bring over" the 2nd amendment as part of the 14th. California is one of only five states whose constitutions are silent on the issue of gun rights, including Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York.

California can ban all guns. Right now, they choose not to.

Immaterial. - We have an inalienable right to bear arms, protected by the US Constitution.

California did not "bring over" the 2nd amendment as part of the 14th.

-?- Can you explain the meaning of this line of gibberish?

California is one of only five states whose constitutions are silent on the issue of gun rights, including Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York.

So? - The RKBA was so self-evident back then that some states didn't bother to enumerate it, imo.

California can ban all guns. Right now, they choose not to.

Good grief, listen to yourself supporting the 'right' of states to ban anything. Why do you claim to be a conservative? Go to DU to spread your agit-prop.

California can't do it. Please refer to Natural law , the Declaration of Independence and inalienable rights. The Constitution doesn't grant "rights".

Can California force it's citizens to quarter troops in their homes ? After all the California Constitution doesn't address that "right' either. By the way the California Constitution does recognize the right to own private property and the "right of self defense". Gee,it even says:

SECTION 1. All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.

JUST WHAT CAN ONE PROTECT HIS LIFE, LIBERTY PROPERTY AND SAFETY WITH ? No, it's not a cell phone !
