(149 posts)In order for me to send a gun that I own across state lines, I have to sent it to an FFL. That's not the case when selling it to someone in my own state.
Can you find me any credible constitutional scholar? I don't keep a rolodex of constitutional scholars on hand, and I don't know of anyone else who does either. Do you?
I'm well aware that the interstate commerce clause is interpreted very broadly. And conservatives tend to be pretty retarded when it comes to the Constitution. But just reading the Constitution, I simply don't see how interstate commerce would apply if a private person sells a gun to another private person. What if we were talking about any other thing, like say a TV? Would you say that Congress has the authority to regulate yard sales?
