(16,038 posts)who has never sent a private sale ncis bill to congress...several have been proposed, none have made it out of committee regardless the party in power. Why? Because of issues of intrastate commerce. This has no relationship to the reefer as weed isn't legal to possess at all at the Federal level and is barely legal at the state level, not to mention there is absolutely no mention of ganja anywhere in the Bill of Rights..it is a bit of a different animal.
Further, there is no limitation on transporting firearms across state lines as long as the owner is abiding by the state laws of the lines they are crossing...Federally, there is no limitation or law prohibiting interstate transportation. I can buy a gun in Colorado but I must have the Colorado FFL ship the gun to a FFL in my state. At the FFL in my state I have to have an NICS check before I can take possession. Once I have done that and take possession, I can put the unloaded gun in my trunk and drive back to Colorado and shoot it all I wish to, put it back in the trunk and drive home....no laws broken. There is no basis for caring if guns cross state lines at the Federal level, therefore no exception to interstate commerce clause..
