I haven’t read the law,but from what I can understand,this sounds like a perfect short summary of it. Never have understood how anyone could rule against something that is clearly stated in the Constitution. The Constitution covers each state in the Union doesn’t it,or have they found exceptions to that? Must be right in there where it says something about Obamacare.

Wait, I know what their argument will be, there was no state of Kansas when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution so it can't possibly pertain to present day Kansas. Come on now doesn't that idea fit with their logic?

Here’s the text of the bill.

http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2013_14/measures/documents/hb2199_00_0000.pdf

It claims that guns manufactured and used in KS are not subject to federal law, because they aren’t involved in interstate commerce.

I sympathize with this POV, but it must be noted that it violates closing on 100 years of precedent.

I a guy growing wheat to eat himself can be classified as engaged in interstate commerce and therefore subjecto federal regulation, then so can somebody building and selling guns in KS.

Sine it doesn’t seem likely this nearly 100 years of precedent is going to be overturned, this law is in all likelihood unconstitutional, given present interpretation.
