Govt needed to change constitution to ban alcohol: they passed 18th amendment. But to prohibit narcotics, they used the commerce clause (which is a stretch). This is their playbook for guns too. Feds can't regulate arms/guns, so they regulate 'carrying/conveying' 'firearms'.

If a law refers to "bearing arms," it is addressing a fundamental liberty. If a law refers to "carrying a firearm," it is often treating the firearm as a commodity or an instrument of commerce that is subject to the "police power" of the state or the "commerce power" of the federal government.
By defining the act as "carrying a firearm" rather than "bearing an arm," the legislature shifts the conversation from a protected human activity to a regulated movement of a specific class of property.

We have been conquered with terms (specially defined words). Their K-12 'schools' teach this nonsense and the media (a defacto govt agency) reinforces the deception.

2. "Carry" (The Statutory/Commerce Regulation) While "carry" and "bear" are often used as synonyms in casual speech, "carry" is the term most frequently used in statutes (the Code). This is where the commerce implications begin to appear.
Transportation vs. Bearing: In many legal contexts, "carrying" is treated as the transportation of a "firearm" (a commercial product) from point A to point B.
The "Commercial" Hook: Under federal law and many state codes, the government regulates the "carrying" of firearms in "interstate commerce." For example, federal laws often apply to anyone who "ships, transports, or carries in interstate or foreign commerce" a firearm.
The "Legal Person" Distinction: Statutes often use "carry" to define the rules for a "person" (which, in a strict legal/common law sense, can refer to a corporate entity or a citizen acting in a commercial capacity) to move a regulated item through public space.

It's not a lie. It's a deception. They can regulate commerce. The deception is that we've been taught to say we're operating in commerce. We hang ourselves.
Feds can regulate commerce, so they claim everything is commerce to them. We must rebut them!
They say, "You're carrying a firearm."
We rebut, "Me bearing arm."
Dorothy got back to Kansas with by repeating one phrase, but this was after going to Oz, battling the Wicked Witch, etc. Don't be Dorothy. Don't battle them.
Use words to claim thy un-a-lien-able rights.
Motor vehicle means an automobile used for commerce. Most of us DO NOT have motor vehicles.
Driving means for hire, as in taxi driver, limo driver, etc.
Also, we are state nationals not U.S. citizens. We're inhabitants not residents, which means resident agent or resident alien.
We're part of the private, not the public.
We're people, not persons. Person means corporate entity and ties directly to the commerce deception. Persons are engaged in commerce or trade, whereas people live and have un-a-lien-able rights.
Persons carry firearms.
People bear arms.
