Many of the federal laws are created based on the interstate (between state) commerce clause, including the federal drug laws. However, CO, and all those states that have legalized weed at the state level have challenged the federal drug laws by creating state laws specifically stating that weed should not leave the state (and thus not causing interstate commerce).

So, what happens when state laws specify that people can own all manner of weapons at the state level, but that those weapons must not leave the state?

I think this is being tried. The key component is the manufacturing. The guns must be made in the State sold, and the manufacturer must only make guns to be sold in that state, no federal permit. Gun manufacturing without a permit breaks federal law.

The problem is nothing stops the ATF from kicking down your door and making an example of you even if you did nothing wrong

oathkeepers are comprimised, you should treat them as feds

If states would actively, forcefully (and to be clear, I mean by shooting them) intercede against federal agents overstepping their authority the feds would be less inclined to play that game.

I also knew the guy would go after building your own guns. I have no idea how one would ever enforce this without essentially banning all guns in the process, because there would be no real way of verifying a door to door to see who made one vs bought one.
