Problem with this, particularly given the trend our congress critters and others in office seem to be taking is that they WILL most likely turn around and have Congress "expressly preempt" intrastate commerce and then the statutes like this are instantly nullified.(3) The regulation of intrastate commerce is vested in the states under the 9th
and 10th amendments to the United States constitution, particularly if not expressly
preempted by federal law. Congress has not expressly preempted state regulation of
intrastate commerce pertaining to the manufacture on an intrastate basis of firearms,
firearms accessories, and ammunition.
I see a problem with this also. Technically it would prohibit the manufacturing of shotguns, since each shell puts out multiple projectiles (shot).Section 5. Exceptions.
(4) a firearm that discharges two or more projectiles with one activation of the trigger or other firing device.
