But it is. If you're not giving due respect to historical context how could you possibly expect to understand the meaning of an eighteenth century document?
It is historically inaccurate to anachronistically put a modern construction on the constitution, and it takes deep study of the time period to understand the original meaning.
so Guy, given that the commerce clause was never intended to allow the government the power to prevent private citizens from owning guns, what is your point?
