This isn’t a firearms issue, this is a states’ rights issue, if there ever was one.

The Liberals LOVE to hang their hats on the “interstate commerce clause,” something most Americans don’t understand but are affected by daily. If no interstate commerce occurs, then can the Federal government really claim any level of jurisdictional authority?

The very obvious answer is, “No, they can’t.” What will be interesting to watch, assuming the SCOTUS takes up the case, is who among them will vote against it. I’m guessing 5-4 one way or another, and those dissenters will be the people who are most likely the wolves in sheep’s clothing, the Communist/Marxist/Progressive destroyers of America.

And, as most rulings, a bastardization of the clause AND meaning.

I’d just LOVE for anyone to bring up an I.C. question: If the I.C. can do XYZ, what does it PROHIBIT Congress from doing? If nothing, why all the other verbiage of the Constitution?

The whole notion that a single sentence can turn Fed. constraint on its head is laughable.
