Let's say that I am engaged in the production items/material for my own personal use. The items/material are legal to produce, own, possess and use/consume under all state and federal law. The items/material never cross state lines, they are never bought or sold, in fact they never leave my possession. The federal government claims that they can regulate my activities (including criminally prosecuting me) under the power of the interstate commerce clause.

Lets use suppressors as our example (and i totally disagree with this ruling, but understand it).
I make (3D print) my own can. I live nextdoor to the plant that makes the material i use to 3D print this item. My own use… blah, blah, blah.
The Govt argument would be that if i hadnt made it…i would have had to BUY IT, and that affects interstate commerce.
Now i dont think (personally) that should be the case, but apparently some folks in black robes think so
