The argument that I have always heard about such cases is that the lefties fear the ultimate shake-out of other laws.
For example, most people tabulate that there are 22,000 gun related statutes in various states. The buggaboo in this situation is the word "nor."
For example, The Tenth reads, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Clearly, bearing arms is enumerated in The Second. However, some could read the following phrase as a combined condition of circumstances.
But what if a Supreme Court simply trumps the idea of States' Rights?
This would mean that all state statutes and regulations concerning the carrying of firearms in unconstitutional.
Over 22,000 statutes negated by the stroke of a pen.
To my way of thinking, it would be the cold slap of reality to leftists that the Constitution means what it says.
