Re: Texas needs this! - bill to nullify federal gun law.
I'm no lawyer, but SCOTUS has already ruled that even if a product is manufactured only for sale within a state, if that same product (or I assume product type, like a firearm) is manufactured (even by someone else) for sale outside the state, it can impact interstate commerce and therefore can be regulated by Congress. See Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942).chasfm11 wrote:I don't understand law as well as you but couldn't a case be made that the 10th Amendment applies? The Commerce clause allows the Federal government to regulate commerce but if I own my firearm, there is no commerce involved. Any National registration, for example, would be a regulation of the firearms themselves, not the sale of them. Since the power to regulate firearms is not specifically given to the Feds, doesn't that make it a State matter?
Yes, I know that the 10th Amendment has been pretty much left in the dust behind "progress" for a very long time.

Ha! You beat me to it.JALLEN wrote:Sure it has! It is just that the Federal government as it is presently manned isn't interested in enforcing those laws. Wanna bet the same would hold true with firearms?
Sometimes I wonder if the entire Federal government isn't herbed up already.

Re: Texas needs this! - bill to nullify federal gun law.
Hmmmm. Liberal Democrats (but I repeat myself) are typically pro-legalized drugs and anti-Second Amendment. So when the KING of Liberal Democrats decline to make a stink over 2 states who voted to legalize pot, I'm not really surprised.mamabearCali wrote:hasn't made it to Colorado on marijuana laws.
How anyone can even equate the 2 situations is beyond me.
