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

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.

If you're going to insert yourself and answer the question, then answer the question. If my statement is "patently false", then tell me what interstate commerce the government is not allowed to regulate, and where did you find that information?
