United States v. Hemani · ¶68

Section 922(g), it seems, also “cannot be reconciled” with this Court's modern Commerce Clause doctrine. Alder man, 562 U. S., at 1166 (opinion of Thomas, J.). Under that doctrine, § 922(g) must fall within one of three categories to be constitutional: It must either regulate “the use of the channels of interstate commerce,” “regulate and protect the instrumentalities of interstate commerce, or persons or things in interstate commerce,” or regulate “activities that substantially affect interstate commerce.” Lopez, 514 U. S., at 558–559.
