| Senator Murphy, from where does the federal government gain the authority to regulate private sales? They are not commerce, and no other part of the Constitution delegates that power. |

Where do they get the power?
The Commerce Clause, the same as they get the power to regulate grain grown on your own land for your own personal use.
Yeah, I know, it's totally wrong, but it's the Supreme Court, so they're always right no matter how obviously wrong they are.

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
