On occasion there will be an argument presented that states are free to pass gun control laws as the Second Amendment does not apply to state law. In effect, states could pass laws that violated federal constitutional rights as long as they did not violate that state's constitution.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution was said not to prevent passage of such laws. The Volokh Conspiracy points to new scholarship debunking this 'nonincorporation' argument in New originalist evidence for the incorporation debate.

Much more to come.

I have been travelling again. I am really tired of it. But being in northern Virginia does remind me of why I am so happy to be gone from there. Besides the traffic, the attitude is amazing. There is a radio add for a local car dealership. Apparently, they don't have a showroom. They have a

climate controled display facility (said it your snotiest voice).

Given that subsidized housing has air conditioning, I am not sure what the big deal is. You can bet they don't sell F-150s.

It is good to be home again, even if I am back into catch up mode.
