mipafox 438 Posted January 12, 2016 10X that was funny ^^^ I could be wrong, but isnt the whole FFL (consequently the background checks) based on federal authority to regulate interstate commerce ONLY ? How did Feds get to regulate commerce within state - business or personal ? Supreme Court Progressives. If you fart it could hypothetically affect interstate commerce. Or, more specifically, if you grow vegatables on your own land for consumption by your own family on your own land. Progressive judges have amended the Constitution dozens of times in the last 80 years to indicate that the power of the federal government is limitless.

One reason we need an Article V Convention of the States. Term limits for Congress and for Supreme Court justices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qel Hoth 33 Posted January 12, 2016 ^^^ I could be wrong, but isnt the whole FFL (consequently the background checks) based on federal authority to regulate interstate commerce ONLY ? How did Feds get to regulate commerce within state - business or personal ? Wickard v. Filburn (1942) Anything that affects interstate commerce can be regulated under the interstate commerce clause. Intra-state and private endeavors (the case in question was a wheat farmer growing more than his quota of wheat for purely personal consumption), affects interstate commerce because anyone participating in those markets is not participating in the interstate market that they otherwise would be.
