So, your right-wing paranoia is your own fault.

You CONTINUE to dig the hole of idiocy deeper with your posts. tell me what laws actually make us safer based on objective based studies. People like you whined that the end of the clinton gun ban would mean more deaths

FAIL

People like you whined that allowing people to carry concealed weapons would lead to "blood in the streets" and gunfights over traffic issues

FAIL

Thats certainly a part of it but the power is to regulate commerce among the other states it doesn't follow that this power only allows congress address trade wars among the states. What basis is to conclude that this problem is all the clause empowers congress to address?

EDITORIAL: D.C. grabs guns from soldier - Washington Times
The District grabbed the guns belonging to 1st Lt. Augustine Kim and won’t give them back. Two years ago, the South Carolina Army national guardsman had been injured on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Now he’s fighting to restore his constitutional rights.
Before deploying overseas, the soldier drove his collection - which included an AR-15, a Beretta 9mm and several .45 caliber pistols - to his parents’ house in New Jersey for safe storage. Upon his return to the states and recovery, Lt. Kim wanted to bring his weapons back to his home in Charleston. On the way, he stopped at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Northwest Washington for a doctor’s appointment. That’s when his troubles started.
Lt. Kim became lost in the city and was pulled over. The cops asked Lt. Kim if they could search his vehicle. The lieutenant agreed because his guns were cased and stored in full compliance with federal firearm-transport laws.”I told them I had been under the impression that as long as the guns were locked in the back, with the ammunition separate, that I was allowed to transport them,” Lt. Kim told The Washington Times. “They said, ‘That may be true, however, since you stopped at Walter Reed, that makes you in violation of the registration laws.’ “
It is illegal to possess a firearm anywhere in the District other than the home. He was handcuffed and brought back to police headquarters, and his guns were confiscated as evidence.

"It is illegal to possess a firearm anywhere in the District other than the home"

So according to the Police, the gun store has to deliver them to you home?

How can you get a weapon home unless you transport it there?

Is everyone become as dumb as a rock?

What makes you think that there is a gun store in DC? The original DC law made you take a class, that was not even offered in DC. That is much like the marijuana tax act, that made it illegal to grow it without having a non-existant stamp.

gun control is a classic area of laws that lefties often support to hassle conservatives. since it is illegal for a criminal to even own a gun, laws that impose waiting periods, magazine bans, restrictions on certain types of guns are purely designed to hassle those of us who can own guns.

If I had the power to teach you just one thing, I'd settle for teaching you that people who do not like guns support legislation to hassle people who do like guns. No more, no less.

EDIT: Damn! The jaws of life are rented out today. I can't pry open your mind.

Maybe later.
