"The government can regulate everything, etc.
Robert, have I stated your position correctly?"

My position is the constitutional position -- the government can regulate the interstate commerce of everything.

Now, as a return favor, please tell me what interstate commerce the government is not allowed to regulate, and where did you find that information? If you cannot find that information, then I'll ask you: What is wrong with my position and why are you even bringing it up?

You are starting to annoy me.

Which is patently false.

"When an instrument admits two constructions, the one safe, the other dangerous, the one precise, the other indefinite, I prefer that which is safe & precise. I had rather ask an enlargement of power from the nation, where it is found necessary, than to assume it by a construction which would make our powers boundless." Thomas Jefferson, letter to Wilson Cary Nicholas, Sept. 7, 1803.

The Judges in this decision agree with a broad interpretation of the Second protecting an Individual Right. Any Laws or statutes that diminish that Right were ruled unConstitutional in their reasoning.

Since I am obviously annoying you, by acting in your defense, I shall cease to do so.

Good luck, and good riddance.

The SCOTUS disagrees with you.

US v Lopez.

Also US v Morrison

You wouldn't know a Constitutional position if it walked up to you, introduced itself, and smacked your dumb behind silly.
