Gun control on any level is good, which is why I voted yes. However, it would work best on an international scale if it were possible.

You disgust me.

The fact that Congress can exercise only its enumerated powers is specified in the Tenth Amendment, and not in any way open to question.

The debate is not over that. The argument liberals like yourself make (the difference being they have some training in constitutional law, and don't just assert a bunch of really silly nonsense) is that the Commerce Clause authorizes this sort of action.

The Supreme Court can be wrong.

Okay, it's clear MODU is just making random stabs in the dark. He still can not answer which part of the Constitution authorizes federal gun laws.

If it is not authorized, it is not constitutional.

Absolutely no one, without any exception whatsoever, on any court in the land has made the argument you are making.

Some do argue that the Commerce Clause authorizes gun control. You are simply too clueless to argue any constitutional matter on a legitimate basis, and so you instead claim that Congress is not bound by its enumerated powers: a joke position, contradicted by the plain text of the document.

Watch it. -Alcon

The general welfare clause is a spending power. It is not a generic lawmaking power.

A gun purchased within a single state is not interstate commerce. Interstate commerce is the shipping of goods and services across state lines.
