I read it and reread it, but I can't find in the 2nd Amendment where it gives any branch of the federal government, including the Federal Courts any authority to say or do anything about the People's right to keep and bear arms. Per the plain language prohibiting the federal government, the FEDERAL Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over 2nd Amendment issues.

Congress uses the Commerce Clause to accomplish this sort of mischief, and SCOTUS has been derelict in its duty to stop it.

To give such a branch of the federal government such power to infringe the protected rights of the people ignores both the 2nd and the 10th limitations on the entire federal government.

Yep. The New Deal Commerce Clause has been poison to many of our natural rights.
