Article I, Section 8. Enumerates certain authority's - Regulating the Bill of Rights - isn't one of them.

But the power for "for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions" is.

Mr. Madison

Mr. Madison: "It is the nature & essence of a compact that it is equally obligatory on the parties to it, and of course that no one of them can be liberated therefrom without the consent of the others, or such a violation or abuse of it by the others, as will amount to a dissolution of the compact. Applying this view of the subject to a single community, it results, that the compact being between the individuals composing it, no individual or set of individuals can at pleasure, break off and set up for themselves, without such a violation of the compact as absolves them from its obligations."

Me - “Article I, Section 8. Enumerates certain authority’s - Regulating the Bill of Rights - isn’t one of them.”

You - “But the power for “for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions” is.”

‘Laws of the Union’ Well, what do we have here?
Supporting the Clinton gun ban are you? It was after all the ‘law’ of the Union
