No commerce provisions apply. These firearms are manufactured, sold and used within the state and only be state citizens.

The Raich case, which our drug warriors cheered, nullified that argument in the eyes of fedgov. Justice Thomas is the only remaining SC justice who dissented:

Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.

Justice Thomas, dissenting in Raich

"in the eyes of the fedgov" being the operative phrase.

Thomas skipped right past the part where the "original argument" for regulating MJ was that it could be taxed and nobody was paying the tax, therefore......

You don't really think the Commerce Clause is the only idea these people have come up with?

There are plenty more. Then there are the idiots who MAIL MJ.

Bwahahahahahahahah!!!
