"You’re dancing around the issue of Congress banning firearms and ammunition under the New Deal “substantial effects” doctrine"

If they are, then they're doing so under the power of the Necessary and Proper Clause, not the Commerce Clause. The Commerce Clause covers commerce "among the several states". I told you that.

Congress was using the substantial effects test 20 years before FDR, so don't sell me that "New Deal" and "packing the courts" bs. I ain't buyin'.

I don’t care if you buy it or not. If you’re going to report me, do it and be done.
