I thought this was struck down by SCOTUS

Yes, in Lopez, on one of those rare days when they actually grasp the correct interpretation of the Commerce Clause, or close enough. IIRC, unable to resist their own statist impulses or take a chance of interfering with those of federal legislators, the court included an explicit roadmap of how to write a law stripping us commoners of our rights and word it in such a way that even that feeble level of regard for the Constitution and our rights might be avoided. Congress paid heed, and rewrote the law in a "Constitutional" form. Such are the results we get on one of those cold days in Hell when SCOTUS bothers to read CONUS.

Need to read up, I don’t think it is a problem but I may have missed something here.
