| 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.

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
