My thoughts on government limitation on purchasing certain items.

It occurred to me last week, when suffering from some type of bronchial bug, that I had to sign or register, so to speak, for the once over-the-counter medications that work for me - Nite-Time D and Mucinex D. Some crazies out there are manufacturing methamphetamine with them and laws had to be strengthened to limit the medication that was being purchased in mass for illegitimate and illegal means. No one took them away from me - just used a logical process to limit them getting into the hands of the wrong people. The new procedures don't eliminate methamphetamine production, but it is still a logical procedure to have people document the purchase of amphetamine products used for the right reasons.

Congress can regulate commerce, the sale or purchase of objects.
