"Bob Stewart couldn't build enough rifles to have a "substantial effect" on the interstate commerce in firearms."

That is indeed true.

But if we allow Bob Stewart to build rifles, then we certainly must allow Bob Jones to build rifles, yes? Oh, and what about Bob Smith? Certainly he must be allowed. Bob Johnson? Bob Washington? A thousand Bobs? A million Bobs?

Looks like "substantial effect" to me. How do you propose avoinding that? You going to put a limit on the number of "Bobs"? Constitutionally?

An unlimited number of 'Bobs' is, indeed, the antithesis of a thousand brownshirts.

There's the problem. If every person who had the skills and tooling to hand build firearms started doing it, do you think there would be any discernible detrimental affect on the interstate commerce of the country?

IF? -- paulsen, are you aware that there is no "IF"? Any citizen of the USA has the right to "build rifles".

Oh, and what about Bob Smith? Certainly he must be allowed. Bob Johnson? Bob Washington? A thousand Bobs? A million Bobs? Looks like "substantial effect" to me. How do you propose avoinding that?

Bizarre bobbie asks another weird question.. -- Why should "we" want to stop a million Bobs from making their own rifles?

Get a grip bob.

What in the world is wrong with everyone building rifles?!?
