Ready my lips: There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to regulate private sales of firearms, or of anything else. Its authority extends only to commerce. Private sales are not commerce, and there is no other provision empowering the federal government to regulate them.
The Dayton mayor would be better advised to rub elbows with the state legislators. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that impinges on the state's powers in that regard. If the state constitution will allow it, then they can do it - IF they have the votes.
It ain't rocket science. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
