The federal gun free school zone act was struck down once as unconstitutional, because it was not interstate commerce.

It should be struck down again under the Second Amendment.

It is interesting that the Commerce Clause - the camel’s nose that took over all state’s rights was ruled on a case where a farmer grew wheat for his own use (to feed his live stock). Since the government set limits on how much wheat could be grown he was fined. The case ended up in the Supreme Court and the court sided with the government.

Since then the Federal government is allowed to regulate almost everything regardless if the end product crosses state laws - This is a ruling that should be overturned.

More and more I see the world through the lens of “How did this stupid law happen in the first place?”

And it all boils down to female suffrage.

Lot of folks see it too, even the conservative women I talk to.

Anything regarding children, safety, or feelings is an uphill legislative battle for our side.

Any person who bases their decisions on emotion should be precluded from voting, IMO.

The problem in a nutshell: If I live in a house directly across the street from a public school, these unconstitutional laws are saying that I can’t posses a gun on my property, carry it to my car, etc.

It makes my home a “second amendment free” zone. Lawmakers are either dumb, or think we are.

“Federal Gun Free School Zone ban enacted first in 1990...”

Another filthy Bush legacy.

Is this really the return of sanity, or is it a second-intention attack?
