How later courts describe this case

  • holding that § 922(g) is viewed best under categories one and two because it orders that the channels of interstate commerce be kept clear of firearms (category one) and addresses items sent in interstate commerce (category two)
  • "The decisions in Morrison and Jones give no reason beyond what was already present in Lopez to find § 922(g)(1) beyond Congress' Commerce Power.”
  • “[T]he challenge [in Jones ] was as applied rather than facial, as it is here. The Court in Jones considered the connection of a specific home to interstate commerce and found it wanting.”
