  US Const. Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3 (``The Congress has the Power . . . To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes[.]''). The sale, transfer, and mnufacturing of firearms crosses state lines, and is therefore a component of interstate commerce--making firearm safety regulations a valid regulation of interstate commerce.

  PORKER shows the statement exactly as printed, with the page markup removed. It is the sponsor’s claim; it is not a legal finding.

Congress.gov’s record for this bill does not list a CBO cost estimate or a committee report (as of August 12, 2025). Not every bill gets one.
