The 9th circuit has decided that federal laws can indeed apply to guns that never leave their state of origin. Though it wasn’t cited in this particular decision, this outcome (and that of any subsequent appeal) was inevitable because of the Wickard v. Filburn decision seventy years ago. Long story short, if you are buying goods that originate within your state then you are necessarily not buying those goods from another state, which has an effect on the market for those goods and thus affects interstate commerce. Go read it, and despair.
