I wonder if this is more fallout from Raich, which expanded the Commerce Clause beyond what even the Ninth Circuit was willing to allow =>

Not long after the decision in Raich, the Court vacated a lower court decision in United States v. Stewart and remanded it to the court of appeals for reconsideration in light of Raich. In Stewart, the Ninth Circuit had held that Congress lacked the Commerce Clause power to criminalize the possession of homemade machine guns.
