http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1521.pdfI reviewed the 14th. It directly refers to this, yes. But you are bastarding the meaning. Reading in things that it doesn't say to try and justify your perverted logic.
The 2nd has been incorporated.
Now we get to the nitty gritty. The State cannot refuse a person that is in good standings the right to own a gun. But it can impose regulations and licensing on it. Are you aware that from 1871 to 2015, the state of Texas had a law prohibiting the open carry of firearms in public. Many western towns and cities outlawed guns inside it's city limits. Just a bit of clarrication, the old law read that the weapon could not be concealed and had to be in the ready position. That means, the flap had to be open, the coat had to be open or the hammer leather had to be released. Each state and muncipality could modify it the way they wanted and still can. But you don't have a right to walk down the street with an open carry weapon if the state/municipality has passed a law forbidding it.
Just like democrats could not deny the right to vote, but levied a poll tax on that right and a literacy test on that right and under the 14th Amendment they were found to be unConstitutional....so too are taxes on guns and training requirements...both of which function to limit access to a right....
You mean the Dixicrats. They started bailing from the Democrats starting in 1935. By 1960, they were no longer Democrats. They had become Republicans and have been ever since.I suggest you read up on the various parties that the Republican and Democratic party. Neither go back to the original formation of this country.
