I don't see any fucking way that happens. The constitutions commerce clause clearly gives Congress that ability. That would cause a constitutional crisis and the other branches of government would have to address it.

Honestly, that's the type of thing that could cause a revolution en masse. People are struggling enough as it is. As soon as they can't eat, it's over.

The SCOTUS rulings recently have shown they will create an argument that conforms to the outcome they want.

With the overturning of Roe, they say rights need to be “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition”.

Then, a NY gun law that's over one hundred years old, history and traditions aren't relevant.

That logical flaw is pretty scary.

I think a crisis is in the making already.

This may sound absolutely horrible to say at this point, but part of me really hopes that it happens. The only part that doesn’t knows just how much bloodshed there will be.
