(on a side note, the original version of this law was struck down by the supreme court as unconstitutional. the current version is exactly the same as the current version except that congress added some wording basically claiming that they have the power to enact the law under the commerce clause.
given that the supreme court shot the first version down as overstepping the limits of the commerce clause, i guess congress thought they could make this action be covered under the commerce clause simply by stating that it was. of course, according to that theory, congress could do absolutely anything they want to simply by introducing it with a clause saying that it effects interstate commerce.
the current version has never been to the supreme court.)

I thought the original version was changed because it made criminals out of people that were passing by a school with guns in the vehicle which conflicted with the commerce laws.
