Let's simplify. Federal government's job is to protect citizen's constitutional rights from state generated discrimination. (Slave states versus free states)People are citizens of a country and RESIDENTS of a State. State government can't deny Federal rights to their residents. They are our property managers, not the morality police.Tax churches.

They don't have legal authority. Interstate is Federal, not state.

Dumbing down education applies to private schools, as well. Charter schools are a means of producing useful workers. Not citizens.

Of course. Roe is the legal precedent for second class citizenship. McConnell`s life`s goal is to repeal Brown. Roe is collateral damage.

It's hard to cling to channeling the writers when their first Act after signing the 'sacred' Constitution, was to change and expand it to add the Bill of Rights.These grifters are attempting to elevate the Constitution as a religious text, which can only be interpreted by a select group of clergy.Some sects are printing the Constitution in their bibles. They've already made the US flag theirs.

See The Militia Act of 1902. Aka 'the Dick Act.' It rejects the minutemen model of organizing a militia in favor of a professional, accountable force able to integrate with regular Armed Forces.It removed the individual right to claim government sanction of owning and carrying guns in public spaces. Post-civil war, in the great surge westward, veterans poured into Indian country. The resulting 'wild west' was tamed by gun control. Civilized people did not require guns to go to the general store.Heller ignored the legal definition of militia that has not changed in hundreds of years. No commission, no uniform insignia, you get shot as a spy.

Yes, given the intermingling of European ancestry, migratory patterns conquerings and so forth, it's pretty tough to nail it down. Genetic testing has a ways to go.

I've always interpreted the 2nd amendment as saying that if you are in the National Guard you can take your gun home with you which, of course, you can't.
