Article 1, Section 8, Cl. 3. This is where its authority to pass nearly every law comes from. Guns, ammunition, are articles in commerce, as are the trains, trucks, and airplanes by which these are transported. Also, the power of “exclusive” legislation over DC only means that Congress, and no other governing body, can pass laws affecting DC. It essentially is a Constiutional preemption of DC ever being given statehood. It does NOT say, at all, that Congress cannot pass legislation under its other enumerated powers, of which there are 17, all found in Article I, Section 8. This letter is essentially an uneducated piece of propoganda that completely ignores what the Constitution actually says. Congratulations, nobody who took Civic in high school agrees with this.
