United States v. McNeive

United States v. McNeive is a legal case involving a challenge to federal authority over firearms. The defendant, McNeive, argued that the prosecution was improper because he believed the federal government had no jurisdiction in his case. The court ultimately upheld federal jurisdiction, affirming the government's authority to regulate firearms under certain circumstances. This case reinforces the principle that federal law can extend to individual cases, especially regarding firearms, and is an example of how legal interpretations can shape the understanding of federal versus state powers.
