There was a case years ago in which a Fed ruling was that even if a crop like corn were grown in a state, and it was intended to be sold and consumed in the state, that it could still be transported across state lines, therefore the crop was covered by the commerce clause. I have no doubt with these present courts that some Fed judge will come up with the same reasoning about a gun made in the State of Montana.
