The Feds counter that it is a valid exercise of commerse power because even sales of firearms that don't cross state lines have an effect on interstate commerce.

Replace "firearms" with any other product and you see that they can claim they control EVERYTHING.

“Replace ‘firearms’ with any other product...”

Yours is an obvious, but very important point.

Last I heard, the Feds don’t regulate anyone’s vegetable garden because it may indirectly impact on interstate commerce!
