Can someone tell me under which enumerated power a weapons ban would fall?
Please correct me if my history isn't quite right: My understanding is that the GFSZA was challenged in US v. Lopez, and was found unconstitutional. After that time, Congress altered the act to add verbiage about guns that "affect" interstate commerce.
So which enumerated power did Congress exercise when they passed the NFA and the '94 AWB? Is it interstate commerce and/or general welfare?
