Our government is nothing if not retarded. They somehow interpreted "right to privacy" to mean "free taxpayer subsidized access to abortions" and "shall not be abridged" to "bans or restrictions on almost all types of firearms."
Have you seen the Commerce Clause, while you're at it? It's used to justify most federal powers because most everything, including breathing, in some way affects "Commerce ... among the several states."
Read the Supreme Court majority opinion on this as well. A farmer was keeping his own corn and using it for other purposes above the amount he was allowed to grow. It never even crossed state lines. BUT they considered that it effected the market.
Unpopular opinion: the best form of government is benevolent dictatorship. The only problems with benevolent dictatorships are all the malevolent dictatorships in between.

Precedent doesn't matter. Constitution doesn't matter. All that matter is the whims of the ruling class.
At this point I am fully convinced that democracy has reached a dead end. I would absolutely prefer a conservative autocracy.

It might work in America if people were actually willing use their guns against tyranny...
