Shouldn't that be manufactured and/or stored? What about guns legally imported into the state but later declared illegal by the feds?

No. The argument is that a gun manufactured, sold, and owned in Kansas does not qualify as interstate commerce and therefore the federal government cannot regulate it, i.e. pass laws controlling them. A gun manufactured in one state and sold in another does.

As I recall, all the Federal gun laws specifically refer to firearms or parts that have traveled in interstate commerce.
