You could credibly dismiss 95% of the Federal criminal code as superfluous (at best) and unconstitutional (at worst) on the basis that the crimes should be adjudicated under STATE law.
Just one random example is 18 U.S. Code § 36 ... which is titled Drive-by shooting
What the hell is the constitutional basis for the Federal government to be prosecuting crimes for drive-by shootings?

Getting Congressman elected. I wish I was kidding.
I could see such laws being relevant in D.C. or perhaps other Federal districts / reservations, but that’s about it.
