The
following was written in November 2013 as a response to the
questionnaire for federal candidates seeking an endorsement from the
Liberty Caucus of the Republican Conference (i.e., the Republican
Party).
Here is the link to the original questionnaire:

This is my answer to Question #3.
3.
A
(The
federal government has the Constitutional authority to enforce an
individual right to keep and bear arms; but not to require
registration of firearms ownership, limit magazine capacity or gun
features, or require waiting periods for weapon purchases)
The
federal government has the constitutional authority to (A)
enforce an individual right to keep and bear arms. The
right to keep and bear arms is natural, fundamental, and inalienable,
and the significance of its appearance in the Bill of Rights is that
the states permitted the federal government to come into existence
only under the condition that it not interfere with that right.
There
is no constitutionally enumerated authority for the Congress to (B)
require registration of firearms ownership, (C)
limit magazine capacity or gun features,
or (D)
require waiting periods for weapons purchases.
The
only powers which the federal government has that pertain to arms are
the power to enjoin the states from prohibiting the importation of
arms and arms components, and the power to ensure that states provide
the people with equal protection under the law in regard to the right
to keep and bear arms.
