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 |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
