the USSC doesn't apply the Lopez standard to the CSA.

Of course not. Illicit drug use doesn't equal the right to keep and bear arms.

I assume, then, you'll have no problem when Congress uses the constitutional authority granted to them in the Commerce Clause to prohibit the use of tobacco products, fatty foods, SUVs, french fries, or whatever the social engineer's cause du jour is, yes?

What difference does that make? Guns, drugs, spotted owls, freon - it's all "commerce".

Oh brother. Your comment misses the point completely. Lopez wasn't even about RKBA. It was a commerce clause case. Sheez.
