Ooooh the fabled 10th amendment of lore able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. There are not 50 interpretations of the constitutions which are valid for legal proceedings or which determine what is or is not "made in Pursuance thereof" and if you believe a corporation can guarantee that is products cannot leave the state of their production then you are a bigger fool than I thought.
States have no legal authority over the Federal government and never did.

Ooooh the fabled 10th amendment of lore able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. In expounding the Constitution of the United States, every word must have its due force, and appropriate meaning; for it is evident from the whole instrument, that no word was unnecessarily used, or needlessly added. The many discussions which have taken place upon the construction of the Constitution, have proved the correctness of this proposition; and shown the high talent, the caution, and the foresight of the illustrious men who framed it. Every word appears to have been weighed with the utmost deliberation, and its force and effect to have been fully understood. No word in the instrument, therefore, can be rejected as superfluous or unmeaning.

This will go nowhere since no state can void a federal law. What is in the water there anyway?

It can per the 10th amendment if that federal law is not constitutional, as in not "made in Pursuance thereof" of the constitution (supremacy clause).
Last I checked there was nothing in the constitution that gave Congress the power to regulate intrastate commerce, of which a domestic gunmaking industry would be.

"Ooooh", ---- unable to counter logic, you try to make fun of "the fabled 10th amendment".
Article VI is clear. The Constitution & its Amendments [including the 2nd] is our supreme Law of the Land, [not to be infringed] and federal firearms 'laws' are clearly infringements. Furthermore, ALL officials, Fed/State or local, are bound by oath to support the Constitution as written.
The Montana bill in question would support the 2nd.
The Federal Firearms Act of '33 is a null & void unconstitutional 'law', that the people of Montana have the right to ignore within the boundaries of their State.
