In my state of Idaho we just had laws go into effect that if a firearm is made in Idaho and stays in Idaho the Federal Government has no authority over it. We are still waiting on the challenges in court.
Is California’s marijuana law not going to have the same legal challenges when it comes to the FEDs?
Would the FEDs not claim the Interstate Commerce clause on both cases?
Prop 19 is potentially even more interesting, because it permits cultivation of small amounts (25 square feet) in your own garden.
The Raich case dealt with co-ops, but if you’re growing your own, it’s a lot harder to make the case that it involves any sort of commerce (much less interstate commerce).
“In my state of Idaho we just had laws go into effect that if a firearm is made in Idaho and stays in Idaho the Federal Government has no authority over it. We are still waiting on the challenges in court.”
My guess: If any of the compenent parts (even the steel) come from outside Idaho, the Feds will have a way in.
