We need to go beyond this and gut the commerce clause completely. It is too easy to abuse.
They use it for everything but commerce.
Is there a ready reference for which states have good laws vs. which states have bad laws?
A tough row to hoe but it needs hoeing for sure.
I fail to understand the LIBs reasoning. Their claim is that under the commerce clause they can legislate anything. How can one clause in the Constitution overrule the entire document? If it is that powerful, why bother with the rest of the Constitution?
The other argument, that the laws inhibit interstate commerce is more ridiculous. Is the federal government arguing to maintain the flow of guns across state lines?
No matter how the courts rule on this matter, it won’t be the final word. Neither side shows any sign of backing down. And a court ruling will only intensify the battle.
What does the “commerce clause” have to do with the right to bear arms? Why do people that claim to be protecting the 2nd amend always feel the need to use other laws to do it? Does the “commerce clause” affect the sell of books and movies?
