30. RE: State RKBA provisions

I am well aware of state RKBA provisions.

I find it peculiar that your "militia right" theory requires us believe that the people actually had their right to arms silently surrendered and secretly, invisibly conferred to the federal government,and retained no aspect of the right to keep and bear arms after June 21, 1788 . . . And then, in 1791, the government gave back to the people a qualified, conditioned permission in the 2nd Amendment, only recognizing and protecting arms keeping and bearing for militia purposes, as the federal government alone shall define.

It seems everyone was fooled; the states and the anti-Federalists (who both demanded a bill of rights), and the Federalists, (who opposed a bill of rights as dangerous and absurd) . . . All would, in their profound confusion, agree to a "Bill of Rights" provision and ratify a Trojan Horse that really grants to the federal government complete power to command the states, dictating just who among their citizens shall be the approved arms keepers and bearers, and under what conditions those select state citizens can exercise this "right".

Your position strikes me as exactly the kind federal intrusion and evil constructive powers that the state reps and the anti-Federalists and even the Federalists were all terrified of, and warned about.
