See post #13 re the Raich and Stewart decisions. According to established case law, the Commerce Clause permits Congress to criminalize 3D printed guns for private ownership.

CWII Spark Ping — Ken H: See post #13. According to established case law, the Commerce Clause permits Congress to criminalize 3D printed guns for private ownership.

Raich is even worse than that: it is the government asserting that not-commerce is regulable by the commerce clause; or as Thomas said in his dissent:

If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.
