Reply #3: Nothing in the Constitution would allow such a ban IMO [View All]

The federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce in anything. In some cases that power has been stretched to the point where certain things like pharmaceuticals and nuclear materials on down to machine guns are regulated everywhere even when they are not transferred interstate. But the government does not have the power to arbitrarily ban things outright. Even the items mentioned above can be acquired legally.
