SCOTUS precedent is that something made locally does affect "Interstate Commerce", because it causes less consumption of similar goods made in other states.
This is pure theater. Unfortunately.

SCOTUS lets way too much stuff slip through interstate commerce.

That is precedent, but incorrect, authoritarian precedent. So its worth it to challenge the bad precedent alone.

I agree, of course. But, a gun case is predestined to fail. It may even reinforce the bad precedent, because guns.

However, The logic/rationale might be ...it cannot cause "less" consumption of an item having "zero" consumption in other States ... as it's a banned item per the ATF ... right?

This is in response to HB957 passed last session. The attorney general is required to file this lawsuit.
First, a private citizen looking to manufacture Texas-made suppressors must first tell the state attorney general. Then, the attorney general would seek a declaratory judgment from a federal court that HB 957 complies with the U.S. Constitution.
Also, maybe this will the first salvo to revamp the commerce clause's current interpretation.
