| Senator Murphy, from where does the federal government gain the authority to regulate private sales? They are not commerce, and no other part of the Constitution delegates that power. |

Where do they get the power?
The Commerce Clause, the same as they get the power to regulate grain grown on your own land for your own personal use.
Yeah, I know, it's totally wrong, but it's the Supreme Court, so they're always right no matter how obviously wrong they are.

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
