"Congress can regulate commerce, " among the several States", -- not among the people within the States"

LOL!

"Thank you Sarah, for your unsupported opinion."

Have a nice life.

the Constitution gives Congress the express authority to regulate interstate commerce.

No, -- it says Congress can regulate commerce, " among the several States", -- not among the people within the States. -- And "to regulate" does not authorize prohibitions.

Commerce is all inclusive and there's no exclusions, such as the gun market given.

Thank you Sarah, for your unsupported opinion. -- You've simply 'bought into' the authoritarian gov't view that gun rights can be infringed by so-called 'reasonable regulations'

Have a nice life.
