Thomas contended that SCOTUS’s decision to pass over Peruta was “indefensible.”
except in as much as they violate the supreme law of the land: COTUS. When individual states take it upon themselves to deprive citizens of their rights, there needs to be a recourse.

Except in as much as the SCOTUS also violates "the supreme law of the land". When that happens, the Constitution is effectively no limit at all to the power of the Fed, provided the SCrOTUS "approves". If then, what is the point of a legislature?

Except the 2nd amendment to OUR constitution of the United States , sets a line in the sand that the individual States "should" not cross.
Except that the 10th amendment reserves to the states, or the people, any power not specifically granted to the Fed, or denied the states. Subsequent amendments have been used to justify an ever increasing intrusion, and incursion, into the rights of the individual states. Thus, much as I dislike it, the states SHOULD have the right to regulate firearms, it's the Feds that are to sit down and shut up.
It was a pussy move by the court. Thomas is correct.
So states have the right to ignore the constitution? If so, they should be removed/or leave the union, but states will never leave the cows tit
have to disagree. The feds should and need to uphold the Bill rights etc.. and bitch slap states that violate those rights ! inspection stickers are BS.A few states attempted to secede; the response from the Fed was not pretty. It was bloody and destructive.
You might want to review a bit of the COTUS, SC(r)OTUS rulings in the past, and carefully consider how much usurped power you want the SC(r)TUS to wield; unfettered they hand us abortion, gay marriage, no more prayer in school, forced purchase of "healthcare", etc. Personally, having had the unpleasant experience of an automobile failing an inspection in the Commywealth of NAZIchusetts, due to dark windows, but passing the inspection in The Peoples Republic of Maine-achusetts, I'd like to see the Feds take over inspections and issue a national driver's license and all. That, however, would violate a primary directive of mine; that the Fed should be EXTREMELY limited in power and authority.
Yes, yes it is. What a fail on the people in government, and by we the people.
can you guys pipe down about rights? kardashians is on.

But it says "militia"! I mean, it sounds like "military", so that means guns were only meant for the military, not for private use. CASE CLOSED!It's really easy....Just follow this simple words
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
