Congress already did pass a law mandating that every able-bodied white male purchase a gun, back in 1792. At the time this law was passed, the people who wrote the Constitution were still alive, so they would have know for sure whether or not it was constitutional to mandate citizens buy a certain product.

That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided, when called out to exercise or into service, except, that when called out on company days to exercise only, he may appear without a knapsack.
That's just your opinion. You don't know whether or not it's going to be a boondoggle. You probably would have said the same thing about the Acela before it went into service.
How do libs try to control our lives? They don't have much impact on my life.
I see conservatives as being the ones who want to control other peoples' lives. Conservatives are the ones who want to decide for two adults of the same sex, that no matter how much they love each other, they're not allowed to marry. Conservatives are the ones who want to tell any woman who becomes pregnant, that she cannot make the decision to end the pregnancy without their approval, or perhaps not at all. Conservatives want to control the sex lives of teenagers. They've decided that teenagers shouldn't be having sex, so they do their best to prevent them from learning how to have sex safely. Conservatives want to impose their religious beliefs on everyone else without regard to the First Amendment.
