These sovereignty laws in MT, TX and UT about guns being made/sold/for use in those states not being required to have federal background checks got me thinking. The justification is that the Federal government only needs to be involved for interstate commerce. If my cattle are born, raised, finished and slaughtered in Maine, then sold in Maine, then why should I pay the beef checkoff? Isn't that a federal law? It's collected by the state, but isn't it a federal regulation not a state one?
