Historically this might be more of an issue than some think, as related to the second amendment. Up to about the early 1900’s it was considered unconstitutional for the federal government to tell you what you could and could not put in your body. Also any such regulation was considered a state matter and the Feds were not supposed to be able to infringe on the state’s ability to decide such matters. Then some clever legal types figured out ways to start infringing on individual and state rights without technically violating the constitution. Sound familiar?
