The Constitution was designed to place strict limits on Federal power. The purpose of the commerce clause has been inverted 180 degrees. It now is used to empower states to interfere with interstate commerce instead of preventing them from interfering with it.

This is wonderful news.

We have made astonishing progress with these state-level firearms freedom laws over the last few years.

Now I would like see a federal version, eliminating all federal gun control. Here's my proposal for its text:

Federal Firearms Freedom Act

1) United States Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44 is hereby repealed in its entirety.
2) United States Code Title 26, Subtitle E, Chapter 53 is hereby repealed in its entirety.

The first part repeals all of 922 and 923. The second part repeals the Internal Revenue Code related to 922 and 923.

The commerce clause only allows the federal government to “regulate commerce between the several States”. The word state being capitalized, means that the feds are only supposed to be the referee between States that have trade disputes with each other. No where does it give the feds any power whatsoever to regulate commerce between the People, or the products they trade. You are correct, it has been completely trashed by the black robed terrorists we call the supreme court and other federal courts. It is about time the States started to fight back on this issue!

Slightly off-topic, but why does NH need 360 members in the State House?

They have 1.3 M people - that’s a medium sized city anywhere else.

Whats the senate like? Is it packed w/ squishy rubber spined RINOs, tards or true conservatives? Then theres Lynch who is likely to veto it. Do the house & senate have the courage to override it? In other words is the House a conservative microcosm? Frankly I hope the answer is ‘no!’. Would love to see NH return to its truly conservative root. The tards have had the reins long enough.

That's great news. Perhaps I can finally afford to get myself one of these:
