Be specific on what law, or rule you are refering to.

Well, any fed regulation on firearms that have already been sold and are now in private hands. As an example, the feds uses the commerce clause to say that you can't put a bayonet on a post ban AR. How does that affect commerce? It doesn't. The fed uses the commerce clause to grant itself power to regulate virtually everything. I see from your posts that you support that. I don't support that broad definition, it is a toehold to tyranny and a pass to an all powerful central government. I prefer the narrowest definition of any area of federal purview.
