This legal analysis examines the constitutional basis of 18 U.S. Code, Chapter 44 (the Federal Firearms Act). It argues that the Act’s jurisdiction is deceptively limited, relying on the federal government’s authority over federal territories rather than broad interstate commerce powers. The author claims that changes in the Act’s codification and wording obscure its true scope, intentionally concealing its limitations on federal power. Furthermore, it alleges that certain provisions, although not explicitly repealed, are no longer readily available in published legal codes, hindering public understanding and potentially leading to unfair prosecutions. The ultimate goal is to expose this alleged legal subterfuge, potentially benefiting the firearms industry and American citizens.
