>Consider this. In my county, I'm allowed to shoot you if you attempt to remove my property from me against my will.
Consider this too:
The reason you can exercise that right — to defend your life and property, is ultimately secured by constitutional protections that apply at both the federal and state level. But those protections don’t magically cover you just because they exist in the Bill of Rights. They apply to your state because of the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause and Incorporation Doctrine.
Without the 14th, the Bill of Rights would technically only apply to the federal government. States could make their own rules. A state could (in theory) restrict your gun rights, your freedom of speech, or even your right to due process, because nothing would force them to respect those rights.
The 14th Amendment is the bridge that applies those federal protections to your state and local governments. It’s why the 2nd Amendment protects you in your county, not just in federal spaces.
That’s why I’m against tampering with the 14th to “fix” birthright citizenship.
If you can politically carve out or redefine that part of the 14th because it’s inconvenient now, what’s to stop someone else from carving out gun rights, free speech, or due process later when that becomes politically inconvenient?
You can’t cherry-pick constitutional protections.
The amendment that secures your property rights is the same one that secures birthright citizenship.
Undoing it for one group risks undoing it for everyone.
Careful what doors you open.
