• Constitutional authority statementThe sponsor’s statement of where the Constitution gives Congress the power to pass this bill. Statement by Ms. KELLY of Illinois, as printed in the Congressional Record (Vol. 161, No. 3, January 8, 2015, Page H156):
  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 tributes[.]''). The sale, transfer, and possession of firearms crosses state lines, and is therefore a component of interstate commerce-- making regulations limiting who can sell, transfer, or posses a firearm a valid regulation of interstate commerce.
