I think that this is “within Constitutional” limits
Felons possessing a firearm or such.

Actually I believe the Feds are citing the Commerce clause.

On the other hand, these guns are made entirely within the state of Tennessee. Also, the people are above the government, and the Second Amendment specifies the Feds can't obstruct keeping or bearing arms.

To great non-violent, peace-loving liberal glee, massively-armed Federal agents don't care a thing about about any of that.

See my post 41. Even if it was interstate (rather than intrastate) commerce, it wouldn’t be constitutionally under federal jurisdiction.

I have the knowledge, equipment and ability to construct and manufacture a firearm that could decimate several people in seconds.

If I only manufacture and use it in Texas does that mean it is not covered by the Federal Firearms laws.

Just askin
