As a result, the regulation of carrying handguns affect the economy greatly. ]]> 2016-04-08 14:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/16rweigel/5os03hq0xkcp/wish/104807796 16rweigel https://padlet.com/16rweigel/5os03hq0xkcp/wish/104808002 In U.S. vs. Lopez(1995), the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had exceeded its constitutional authority under the Commerce Clause when it passed a law prohibiting gun possession in local school zones.]]> 2016-04-08 14:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/16rweigel/5os03hq0xkcp/wish/104808002 craugustine16 https://padlet.com/16rweigel/5os03hq0xkcp/wish/104809339 This court case marked the first time in more than 50 years that the Supreme Court limited Congress's growing commerce power.
