No, not unless the government is selling or buying the guns with me.
Otherwise they are an unwanted and intrusive third party.
i am unaware of the part the Constitution that calls for regulating firearms
And no where in COTUS is anything allowing the government to regulate biological weapons, nuclear weapons or chemical weapons. Or to regulate Marijuana or opium poppies.
Even Saint Ronald understood the need for sane policies on the issue of gun proliferation:
Did Reagan support an assault-weapons ban?
The correct answer to the person you were replying to is:
The Commerce Clause in the constitution. The government clearly has the constitutional right and power to regulate commerce.
When goods or services are exchanged for money, that's commerce.
So the constitution most certainly says the government can regulate gun sales.
Which is why the courts of our nation have upheld gun regulations laws.
Printz v. United States restricted congressional legislative authority by striking down the many provisions of the brady handgun violence prevention act
That doesn't show that background checks are unconstitutional.
If they were they would have been struck down.
You can't be that stupid. Can you?
it is not a crime for a felon to have a back ground check done
just how many felons have gone to jail for failing a background check
