At law (well, traditional objective law at least), the various Amendments, being by definition intentional changes to the original document, are (traditionally) held to trump any affected portions of the original.

Here, the Commerce Clause would (traditionally) take a back seat to the 2nd.

No guarantees, certainly, of what ruling a modern-day ''court'' might make.

US v Miller, and the AWB are proof of that.
