This video discusses a proposed West Virginia law that could allow the state to sell or transfer post-1986 machine guns to private citizens. The speaker, Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney, argues this initiative could challenge the constitutionality of the federal Hughes Amendment (18 USC 922) by highlighting its lack of a clear jurisdictional hook to Article One of the Constitution. The strategy involves a two-pronged legal defense: first, arguing compliance with the Hughes Amendment, and second, asserting the amendment's unconstitutionality due to a lack of connection to interstate commerce powers.
