Sigh . . .
It lists the interstate commerce clause as the source of its Constitutional authority.

Yep. As was HR 822 in last congress. Don’t know if you remember but HR 2900 actually use the 2A for authority……

Hadn’t remembered the bill numbers, but I did remember that there was an NRA-supported bill that claimed to draw its authority from the interstate commerce clause, and a GOA-supported one that drew on the 2nd Amendment, as incorporated by the 14th Amendment.
