THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

IF the Supreme Court has ruled that it's an individual right AND it applies 
to the states, then which part of "shall not be infringed" don't they 
understand?

"The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the 
State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is 
one of the "high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and 'is 
excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed 
to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent 
of the law-making power." 24 Tex. 394 (1859)

"The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not 
militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such only 
as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed or broken in 
upon, in the smallest degree;...any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to 
the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right..." 1 Ga. 243 
(1846)

"Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every 
other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American 
... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the 
federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever 
remain, in the hands of the people." - Tench Coxe, 1755 - 1824, American 
political economist and a delegate for Pennsylvania to the Continental 
Congress in 1788-1789.


"The Constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by 
ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts and, 
like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter 
it. If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative act 
contrary to the Constitution is not law; if the latter part be true, then 
written constitutions are absurd attempts, on the part of the people, to 
limit a power in its own nature illimitable."   Thus, the Constitution is 
either The Supreme Law of the Land, superceding all other laws, or the 
Constitution is a worthless piece of paper. If the latter, government can 
do as it pleases. If the former, tyrants have seized sovereignty illegally, 
it is the duty of the people to put them in their proper place in history. 
- Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall - 1803

Article VI.

2 This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made 
in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made or which shall be made, under 
the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; 
and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the 
Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and 
this without any qualification as to their condition or degree, as is the 
case in the British government. -- This may be considered as the true 
palladium of liberty... The right of self-defense is the first law of 
nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this 
right within the narrowest limits possible. Whenever standing armies are 
kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any 
color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already 
annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. - St. George Tucker, 
Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1803) ( From which U.S. 
laws regarding the RKBA ( Human Right to Keep & Bear Arms )  derrived )

"Within the month, the convention had presented William and Mary with a 
Declaration of Rights that enumerated the ways in which James II had 
subverted the Constitution and the realm; listed thirteen rights and 
liberties of the people of England it characterized as "true, ancient and 
indubitable" that were to be recognized unequivocally; and elevated William 
and Mary to the throne as king and queen of England." - To Keep And Bear 
Arms by Dr. Joyce Malcolm

Fundamental, true ancient and indubitable human right.

Commons in Parliament assembled, for the ratifying, confirming and 
establishing the said declaration and the articles, clauses, matters and 
things therein contained by the force of law made in due form by authority
