Not being a lawyer, all I have are ephemeral concepts of these ideas here... But it seems to be if some guy can be engaged in interstate trade in 1939 just by taking a shotgun from one state to another, not even attempting to sell it, but just by crossing state lines with it...

It seems to me through incorporation, equal protection, and interstate trade there has to be some way to turn all of this stuff back on them...
