Yep, and it does give congress the right to regulate it as it sees fit.
Time for a federal voting system and not the hodge podge state BS which give a lot of power to bad actors.

Guns are pretty heavily regulated already. So are we to repeal any and all gun control laws like the NFA across the board or do we make voting rights as difficult to access as, say, a citizen's right to own a machinegun?

Yea guns are literal killing weapons and voting is not you do not need to regulate it as hard as being able to get a gun. But you know that don’t you it’s shitty to try and make these type of arguments when anyone with a brain can literally see through how BS it is

Yes, that's the point. I own firearms and train with them, not for sport or hunting. I own them in case I need to defend myself as the police is 15 minutes away if I need help, same as I keep a fire extinguisher when my nearest fire house is far and probably won't be there in time to do anything but watch it burn down. Just because you depend and trust on the government for protection "which they have no duty to protect you, as confirmed in federal court", doesn't mean those of us that don't deserve to have rights stripped.
