Clarence Thomas Explains Why the Commerce Clause Cannot Justify Federal Bans on Gun Possession

Justice Clarence Thomas has argued that federal bans on gun possession cannot be justified under the Commerce Clause, asserting that such laws don't qualify as regulation of interstate commerce. Even with the Supreme Court's broad interpretation of this clause, Thomas insists that gun regulations fall outside its scope. This viewpoint carries significant implications for federal gun control laws and the ongoing debate over Second Amendment rights versus federal regulatory power.
