Now is a golden opportunity for states to create enabling laws to encourage state only gun and ammunition production.
That is, if all materials are produced in a state, and guns and ammo are sold only for in-state use, then eventually an argument can be made that the federal government has no regulatory authority over it.
Importantly, because of lower sales volume, a state wanting to do this needs to create some incentives, such as a contract with businesses that do this for a preference in purchasing state LEO weapons and ammo; and on the other end, commissioning of high value collectible firearms, to be given as awards.
If a guy feeding his own livestock food he has grown without incurring the wrath of the FedGov Beast you know the SCOTUS will not likely continue to allow states to claim the right to administer in state weapon production or anything else.
Didn’t Montana do that?
“That is, if all materials are produced in a state, and guns and ammo are sold only for in-state use, then eventually an argument can be made that the federal government has no regulatory authority over it.”
If the courts let them claim authority over grain grown on your land for your own consumption, then they’ll claim authority over anything they want.
