Why does it matter where it was manufactured? And how many guns/ammo/accessories currently owned in Texas were manufactured here?

[...] Firearms Freedom Act Introduced in Texas Excerpt: Since 2009, 8 states have passed similar legislation as law – Montana, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, Alaska and Arizona. And, here at the Tenth Amendment Center we expect to see at least a dozen other states consider Firearms Freedom Acts in 2011. [...]

I think it was even worse. I believe Hitler was actually appointed instead of elected.

This is a completely pointless law that will do nothing but maybe get more votes for the politicians who vote for it.

A state cannot define federal jurisdiction.

Not to mention that any company would be subject to federal jurisdiction if they bought their casing material from a company that mined the metal outside of Texas, or the metal to manufacture a gun or accessory.

It doesn't matter if the gun was manufactured in Texas and never left the state. Did the manufacturer buy machines for its plant from a company in Michigan? Uh oh, interstate commerce.

Any gun/ammo/accessory company that so narrowed itself to avoid interstate commerce would have such a poor business model it would go out of business.

Hahaha … One big Government Party???? Republicans??? Dems are expanding Gov. MORE than Conservatives ever did… thank GOD we can spank them down and stop them from taking over everything!! REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES want to limit Gov. to the Constitution …. I think he likes shooting his guns as much as I do and will sign it for the personal freedom and backing he gets from conservatives like me.
Oh … What kind of lightbulbs do you like?? I like to CHOOSE MINE.

If the General government will not abide by the Second Amendment , adopted at the same time as the Tenth Amendment, and which presumably cancels any authority over arms (the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed), why does anyone think they will desist from infringing on the right to keep and bear arms merely because the Tenth Amendment is waved at them? And by arguing exemption on the theory of intrastate commerce, do you not realize that you are gutting the Second Amendment because you are conceding authority over interstate commerce in arms?

I am not a fan of language, which essentially states: "guns are excluded from your jurisdiction if they are not in your jurisdiction." What the heck is that??? They really should try and be a little more precise.
