That said, he is a consistent defender of the basic right of an individual to keep and bear arms, as stated in the [[Second Amendment]]. He is opposed to all forms of what is commonly called "regulation" today, whether of commerce or of personal activity. He interprets the Constitution's directive to [[United States Congress|Congress]] to "regulate interstate commerce" in what he asserts is the intended meaning: ''to make such commerce more regular'' by setting uniform standards to which all States must adhere.
