Interesting.
As a point of reference, the UCC, where adopted, applies only to certain specified common classes of commercial transactions. It in no way applies generally to rights reserved by the people or to powers granted by them to the gov't.
Application of general provisions in the UCC to issues like federal machine gun regulation, while incredibly novel (and even entertaining), miss the mark by a wide margin.
ETA: well having donned a tinfoil hat, delving deep into conspiracies of worldwide scope, I've discovered a treasuretrove of those who worship the UCC as general law.
"Conspiracy theories
The Uniform Commercial Code plays a significant part in the legal theories of far right groups such as the Christian Patriot movement, Sovereign Citizen Movement, and the Posse Comitatus. Their theory is that a secret treaty made in 1930 put the United States and other countries around the world in "bankruptcy" with the "international bankers" being the "creditor/rulers", who prefer commercial law to common law. An alternate theory, held by the Montana Freemen, is that an "affidavit of truth" submitted "in commerce" could create a lien which had to be paid, such as the "draft liens" created by LeRoy Schweitzer, who was eventually convicted of fraud and other federal crimes.[4] The newer "redemption movement" even claims that the Uniform Commercial Code is now "actually the supreme law of the land".[5]
The Constitution Party of Pennsylvania claims that the UCC governs all human interaction in the U.S., and that using the language contained in §1-207 of UCC such as "without prejudice" or "under protest" protects the signer from being bound by any contract or that the signer is not recognizing a government's jurisdiction over the signer.[6]" (emphasis supplied)

I never heard of this strange behavior before and I wouldn't have believed it, but there we go.
