You are right Judicator. Time to get back to the US Constitution.
The founders' biggest concern of all was a too powerful centralized government. After nearly 10 years of trying to make the Articles of Confederation work, which basically created 13 independent countries (States), the founders realized they needed to bring them all together as one unified nation. The main reasons were national defense, unified currency (each state was making their own), international trade deals, and interstate commerce.
The compromise the Founders came up with was to say the ONLY powers that the federal government shall have are those explicitly written into the constitution. All other powers, laws, etc are to be retained by the individual states. Each state developed their own constitution and all powers not outlined specifically in the US Constitution as a Federal power were to be decided by the states.
The Bill of Rights are rights for all citizens and cannot be taken away by either the federal government or state governments. They are permanent rights for all citizens. This is exactly why the red flag laws are unconstitutional. Neither the federal government nor state governments can disarm the people. We have the right to bear arms. It doesn't say guns, pistols, cannons, or swords. It says bear arms. Everyone has the right to own whatever weapon they want. The reason for the second amendment is to ensure the Founding Father's greatest fear, a too powerful centralized government, never occurs.
You are absolutely correct that the supreme court has made rulings giving congress and the executive branch too much power for the federal government to overreach by using the interstate commerce clause to enforce federal mandates and laws.
There is NOTHING in the US Constitution that gives the federal government the power to regulate individual health choices. Everything the federal government has done to "combat" covid is unconstitutional. States can likely handle health issues based on their own state constitutions, but as far as the federal government goes, they should have nothing to do with it.
