Maybe, but it doesn’t take any effort to belief it’s just incompetence.

If you make a buy over the phone, then yes.

Please see Wickard vs. Filburn (1942), where the Federal government made a power grab under the commerce clause.

48 hours in the stocks. No food, no water, no breaks, no lights. Public ‘admonishment’ permitted. They would likely yearn for the gibbet and gallows.
