Federal efforts to unconstitutionally restrict firearms are becoming sillier and sillier as officials bend over backward to pretend they are merely "regulating interstate commerce". They have long decided to ignore the fact that the 2nd amendment supersedes the "commerce clause", and pretend there is ANY Federal authority to regulate firearms at all.
More and more states have had enough of it. This could have the additional benefit of spawning more gun manufacturers in the various states, so that state citizens can buy guns made in their state that were never involved in interstate commerce.

A fifth state – South Dakota – has decided that guns made, sold and used within its borders no longer are subject to the whims of the federal government through its rule-making arm in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and two supporters of the growing groundswell say they hope Washington soon will be taking note.
South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds has signed into law his state's version of a Firearms Freedom Act that first was launched in Montana. It already is law there, in Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming, which took the unusual step of specifying criminal penalties – including both fines and jail time – for federal agents attempting to enforce a federal law on a "personal firearm" in the Cowboy State.
According to a report in the Dakota Voice, the new South Dakota law addresses the "rights of states which have been carelessly trampled by the federal government for decades."
South Dakota's law specifically notes "any firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in South Dakota and that remains within the borders of South Dakota is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce."
