To My Legislators:
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution. (emphasis added)
According to the Preamble, the Bill of Rights exists to do one thing - restrict the power of the federal government to over-regulate the citizens of this country. Any power enumerated in the Constitution must be utilized in accordance with the restrictions laid out in the Bill of Rights.
With that in mind, the Second Amendment restricts Congress’ ability to restrict access to and carrying of firearms under the Commerce Clause - not the other way around! You cannot use the Commerce Clause to violate the clearly defined protections accorded citizens in the Bill of Rights.
It is time for the GFSZA to be repealed.
