You are missing the point. For the last time ... show me a gun manufacturer or any manufacturer for that matter that will set up a factory to make items only to be sold within one state?
There are already gun manufacturers in a large number of states. It would take nothing for them to make a limited run of “state” models for sale only in that state.
There is also the possibility of home manufacture, 3D printing, 80% receivers, all of which could manufacture the “firearm” within a state. Barrels, magazines, triggers, sights, stocks, all are not “guns” under federal regulation at present.
They cannot legally do that right now, though Marbut intends a production run of Buckaroo .22 caliber bolt action rifles whose design is public domain, so cannot be messed with by the feds using its patent as an excuse.
His lawyers have forbidden him to even assemble a single rifle until the case is settled.
Well, he is one manufacturer who *wants* to do this, but no others can say so, without being threatened by the BATF&E.
So you can right now claim that no manufacturer would ever do so, but there is no way of proving that claim. However, lots of states are trying to make it easy for entrepreneurs to do so, so I am not inclined to agree with your opinion.
I see zero chance of that happening. Lame idea.
Better stay away from obama’s courts.It will end up like obamacare did.
You are welcome to your opinions. However, there are multitudes of home made firearms already being made.
I doubt that. Roberts agreed with the Heller and McDonald decisions. Arguing for minimal magazine capacity means poor people need more than one firearm ready for self defense when they don't have time to change magazines. Heller tossed safe storage laws too.
Somewhat the way O'care was passed. I'm sure FineSwine, Little Dicky Durbin and UpChuck are planning something similar for the federal version.

I don't think so. The rats had the House then. Now any member of the GOP voting for gun control in the House would most likey get primaried from the right. It won't pass the House. Why would Reid expose his rats in the Senate to a vote that would make them vulnerable in the general election for a ban on common magazines and semiautos that probably couldn't pass scrutiny in the current SCOTUS? I'm not so sure about expanding NICS checks to private sales.
