212. Your arguments are based on your opinion, mine on established law.
So if my arguments are weak, yours are nonexistent. But again, you guys are so sure that you're right that you deify your personal opinions into facts and then can't understand why anyone can refuse to acknowledge those "facts."

Plessy, right or wrong, was THE LAW until Brown. Your argument, if I understand it, is that 20th and 21st Century US Supreme Courts are refusing to acknowledge the "innovation" of the Second Amendment, which was written in 1789. That's simply absurd.

And Silveira did not establish anything independently. Hickman and other cases confirm the logical line from Miller to Silveira. That Silveira is not an appropriate application of the Miller precedent is your opinion, one in which you are completely insupported by any higher court decision. You presume to know the law better than superior court judges. That's what makes your argument sound so ridiculous.
