Re: Proof and Facts
I have no idea if they specifically had guns or plows or TV sets or radios or push up bras or sex toys or bed frames or writing desks or computers or table lamps or beets or beef or wheat or buckled shoes in mind when they wrote those clauses. And neither does you or anybody else. They left it broad and vague to include all manner of things under the sun that can be bought and sold from other nations and from one state to the other. And like it or not - that includes guns.
but the issue is what the founders intended and even the most hard core statists have to concede that the commerce clause was never intended for that purpose
no one who pushes gun control has tried to justify it on those other clauses
and lets see if you can answer an easy question
Do you believe the founders wrote the commerce clause for the purpose of
1) delegating gun control to the federal government
2) giving the federal government the power to tell a farmer if he can grow wheat for his own use
