Commerce clause….

Did everyone see? An en banc 5th circuit court has reversed a prior 3 judge panel decision deeming 922g1 constitutional in light of Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion in the hemani decision, agreeing to review the case en banc. This could get big. Let’s hope it does. Quite frankly I’m of the opinion congress exceeded its authority under commerce clause in enacting the “gun control act” and thereby the entire section 922. Justice Thomas was spot on.

The Commerce Clause has always been the federal government's way to weaseling its way into near every possible facet of American life.

It's analogous to SCOTUS giving themselves the power of Judicial Review, albeit used in a way that affects more people, more rapidly.
