This part of GCA 68 is an exact reversal of the intent of the commerce clause. The clause was meant to prevent the states from stopping commerce across state lines, not to enable them to do so.

Watch a state try and pass a state law restricting the slaughter of a child in the womb, and the liberals and the media would go crazy.

If you attempt to exercise your Constitutional right regarding firearms, the states pass 60,000 laws and nobody bats an eye.

The occurs to me, again, that if the powers that be would put one-tenth as much effort into identifying and incarcerating bad guys as they do in limiting the ability of law-abiding citizens to own and carry a firearm the results would be much more impressive. IMHO, we have long since reached and passed the point of diminishing returns when it comes to protecting society from the dangers of guns.

When resources are limited it makes perfect sense to use them in a more directed manner. That does not include passing law after law aimed at guns, not the people who use them.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

You can buy a handgun in a different state, you just can’t take delivery of it.

It has to be shipped to a FFL in your home state who will then do the NICS check for a fee and if you’re cleared, give you the gun assuming all the state requirements are met such as any pistol permitting requirements.

Long guns can be purchased in other states, but the sale has to conform to the laws of your state of residence. I can go to Ohio and buy a shotgun but I must have my NJ Firearms purchaser ID. John Q public from Kentucky can go to Ohio and use his drivers license.

GCA 68 is Unconstitutional!
