This is the Wickard Commerce Clause in action. From the congressional findings section of H.R. 1913:

(6) Such violence substantially affects interstate commerce in many ways, including the following:

(A) The movement of members of targeted groups is impeded, and members of such groups are forced to move across State lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence.

(B) Members of targeted groups are prevented from purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining employment, or participating in other commercial activity.

(C) Perpetrators cross State lines to commit such violence.

(D) Channels, facilities, and instrumentalities of interstate commerce are used to facilitate the commission of such violence.

(E) Such violence is committed using articles that have traveled in interstate commerce.

I’d like to see the actual stats on how many have been adversely affected by this. I don’t even recall the MSM headlining any stories of “targeted groups” being impeded from traveling or purchasing goods and services and all the other things listed. If there were such an epidemic of this behavior occurring, believe me, the media would be all over it 24/7.
