It did the opposite you dumb fuck
It made the 2nd amendment a universal right as opposed to something left up to the states
There was no way to interpret the second amendment as universal right pre 14th amendment.
GOOGLE IT YOU STUPID WHITE TRASH, MY GOD. YOU STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE 14TH AMENDMENT EVEN IS. AS SOON AS YOU DO YOU WILL REALIZE HOW ABSURD IT IS TO THINK THE FOUNDING FATHERS GUARANTEED YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A GUN
edit- no you won't, you're fucking retarded. Who am i kidding. Blocking you for being so fucking dense.
You join an elite list of only one other person who i blocked for reasons i can't remember
But you seem to be of the false impression individual rights did not exist before the 14th amendment?
And that is wrong.
There are no state firearm laws before the Civil War.
That was because firearms for self defense were so universally accepted as an individual right, no such law would have been tolerated, on federal, state, or local level.
The whole point of needing the 14th amendment is that states started to make restrictive firearm law after the Civil War, against Blacks.
They existed, freedoms from the federal governments interference
With the 14 ammendment they became freedom to because of their universality
You're trying to have some irrelevant discussion on freedom to and freedom for when we have all sorts of precedent that says that's not how it worked. Again this is why Ron Paul wants "states rights". He wants to go back to pre reconstruction America so it would be legal for him to have his own little Christian Shariah state in East Texas. The racists want apartheid, which would be legal again unless disallowed by state constitution.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the precedent on this issue. It's not some philosophical problem. We have decades of case law on the issue and fought a civil war over the issue. It's why we passed the 14th ammendment to make what you're saying true.
