I have news for them. There is no ‘commerce’ in the firearms that I own. I own them. They aren’t for sale and they are not there for the taking (easily). When I die, my children with take them; hide them if necessary. If you do not own one, or many, you are making One Big Ass Mistake, America.

I used to own a bunch of them but they were lost in a tragic boating accident in about 800 foot of water.

This is the same collection of useless freaks who gave us Soto-Mayor and Kagan. And now McCain, who sits on the Committee, has been nominated again and has nothing to control him.

I'm pretty sure Uncle Sugar steps real lightly on this area of the constitution.

I've been to a couple of sporting shows recently, I can almost assure folks, Texans won't play around.

Triple dog dare’m

The Government role in firearms commerce must be revised to bring it into strict compliance with the Constitution.

From an originalist perspective, the citizen was never questioned as to the right to own any weapon from a cannon to a warship.

Therefore, with the possible exception of bacteriological and nuclear weapons, the Feds can have no role in regulating trade in weapons. Indeed, the Constitution restricts the Federal gooberment to assuring that no state passes taxes against trade between other states.

Now, since I have made clear the Constitutional limits upon the Feds regarding weapons, what about those surplus Warthogs ........?

Where do I go to buy one?

I think this is their reaction to Montana, Utah and the other five states that are demanding the Feds get the hell out of their intrastate commerce regarding firearms. Yep, their scared that the individual states are going to tell them to go screw themselves.

Most forget that without such commerce, one can only go so long as the equipment and supplies on hand hold out. All this “they’ll never take my guns” rhetoric is oblivious to the fact that our opponents are that smart: they’ll just fall back to siege warfare.

Your extrapolation of the government's assumed right to control commerce via the interstate commerce clause to include all forms of commerce, even that which has no 'interstate' origin stretches your point a bit too far.

They cannot take what they do not have record of unless fools willing comply. The only way they can get them all is to search house-to-house, and even then they wouldn't get them all.

Way to miss my point.

Point: you cannot make modern bullets, shells, powder, nor primers. Extrapolate from there.

You’d be surprised at the stockpiles out there. Sure, the supplies would get tight, but I still maintain they have no basis to contain or control state-produced items. Look at SD where they’ve legislated that firearms produced in SD do not come under Federal law.....
