The findings in Wickard, Lopez, Stewart all point to an
unenunciated Federal power to elevate private posession of anything to an act of interstate commerce. I am trying to
think of something that the Feds could not by fiat promote
possession of to a Federally regulated act were they of a mind to.

“We therefore hold that Congress had a rational basis for concluding that in the aggregate, possession of homemade ice cream bars could substantially affect interstate commerce in ice cream bars.”

Well, they need to start accepting it again. Wickard is wrong on it’s face and is an affront to the Justices’ employers, not to mention their employers’ intelligence.

The interstate commerce clause and the general welfare clause have been used to justify anything Congress or the federal agaencies want to regulate,tax,or outlaw.
Texas violated the peace treaty with Mexico by giving up their Texas sovereignity and becoming just another one of the United States.
The Constitution that replaced the Articles of Confederation effectively destroyed state power on paper;it just took a civil war for the federals to make that point.

Texans, Montanans, and supporters of the Second Amendment... Please take a look at this company's business model -
K&D Ordnance in Dillon, Montana.
They make blank receivers that are 60% completed which allows you to finish the work yourself and avoid all paperwork, so long as only you own the firearm that you made yourself.

YES! A Northern Wall for Texas! LOL. Also, FYI: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

I see bills like this at the state level functioning as sort of a "shot across the bow" of the FedGov, as that leviathan seeks ever more to encroach on the rights of states and individuals alike. A good thing.
BTW, pings will be intermittent over the rest of the week; I'm heading to L.A. on business.
