(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
What does keeping a firearm in one's car have to do with interstate or foreign commerce?
It doesn't have anything to do with interstate or foreign commerce. The Congressional sponsors of the bill put in that language to justify federal interference in what is a state concern, education. I hope that whenever the first person gets arrested and tried under this federal statute, some court somewhere will declare the law unconstitutional. That's why it's important for us to elect a president who will appoint judges who interpret the constitution as it was written, not as they think it should have been.
