States must have rights in relation to the federal government.I view it as a States' sovereign right, clearly expressed and secured by our Second Amendment.the Intent and Purpose is in the First clause of our Second Amendment.the second amendment was put in the constitution to protect the people from the government, any other interpretation is simply wrong.
the founders came from countries where the government ruled with an iron hand and the people had no say or rights. They specifically prevented that from happening here when they wrote the constitution. I think you need a course in American history.
Yes, I agree completely.
But the 4th and 5th amendment also show individual arms were necessary to prevent murders, robberies, pirates, gangs, natives attacks, etc. And we have even more threats these days, like LA riots, M-13, natural disasters, etc.
I disagree since listing 1 reason does not at all imply there are not thousands of others they did not bother to list.
But it does not matter.
One point is sufficient since the result then is NO federal jurisdiction over weapons at all!
It is impossible to read the 2nd amendment as anything but a total and complete ban on federal jurisdiction over weapons.
Do states have rights?
I don't think so.
States can only act on behave of the inherent rights of individuals I think.
States do have jurisdictions however, and that works out the same I think?
