United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995)

Primary Holding

Gun possession is not an economic activity that has any impact on interstate commerce, whether direct or indirect, so the federal government cannot base a law prohibiting gun possession near schools on the Commerce Clause.

"The possession of a gun in a local school zone is in no sense an economic activity that might, through repetition elsewhere, substantially affect any sort of interstate commerce."

Congressional reaction? Pass the law again. And again it hits the courts. And what do the courts do the second time around? They find that by golly, GFSZ Act is a proper exercise of the commerce clause power.

Clowns in every branch. Boot on your neck, they are loaded with power and eager to use it against the public.

The courts are just as bad as Congress in enabling the government do what the government is not entitled to do. And why not? The power is there for the taking. The people will submit. "Rule of law."
