I don't think we would object to the federal government intruding into intrastate affairs where it concerns protection of our constitutional rights, such as the right to bear arms.

The 14th Amendment says the states can't violate those rights. It has nothing to do with the Commerce Clause.

The drug issue is especially thorny. What if a state or municipality decides to legalize the sale or possession of drugs? Where do you draw the line between state and federal authority in such matters?

I have no idea why you should find drugs a 'thorny' issue with respect to the Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment.

What is so hard about honoring the original Constitution in the matter?

Thanks.
