Creating a question whereby drugs and firearms are lumped together, as they were, leaves little room for making the case for critical distinction between two vastly different issues.

The lumping of them together was done when the the commerce clause was expanded to include the regulation of them as "commerce". The question was asked in the context in which the clause has been applied.

Fine. That's your opinion. I still think it was a badly worded question. After all, there was no visible drug problem in American society in the late 1700`s. The circumstances were drastically different in the second half of the 20th century, leading to the creation of a standard national drug strategy with the CSA of 1970.
