SCOTUS will decide that some components were shipped to Alaska from another state and therefore the Commerce Clause will be used to shoot that idea down.
On the other hand, I believe that local farmers who sell fruit at a local farmer’s market are beyond the reach of the Agriculture Dept’s regulations. A ruling from SCOTUS is like a coin toss.
For those who do not believe that he Constitution means what it says there is always penumbras and emanations.
Hey, the steel used to make the parts was shipped to Alaska from else where. The machine tools used to shape the steel in to parts was shipped across boarders.
Lets face it for those who consider safety more important than liberty all other considerations are secondary.
I doubt it. The original ruling on such stuff, back in the '30s, was that a farmer growing grain to feed his own livestock was "affecting" interstate commerce in grain, because if he had not grown it, he would have had to buy it, and thus he affected the overall market, and thus his activity was subject to the Agricultural Department rules.
You can't make this stuff up.
