The Act relies on the commerce clause and the “right to travel” as its constitutional justification. I admire the goal. But do we really think it is within the enumerated powers of Congress? I think it could be justified as a Congressional protection of the right to keep and bear arms. But the congress critters avoided that for some reason.
