The issue was the courts neutered that part. That's why part of the Fourteenth Amendment is directly based on that part of the Constitution and directly intended to override the prevailing opinion of the court system. But that was neutered again within a fairly short period of time.In McDonald, we had a chance to address that. The SCOTUS even said the precedents neutering the privileges and immunities of being a United States Citizen were deeply flawed and merited revisiting. But the Court can't revisit those precedents unless the parties involved argue that those precedents are flawed and that provision applies. Rather, our so-called pro-2A groups went for the Due Process route and supported a position that 2A rights should be infringed until the Court declares otherwise on every minor issue.</blockquote>
