Well, how's this for a hypertheoretical theory: In the case of an FFL sale, and assuming that the gun was made in, or traveled through, States other than the one in which it is being sold, the firearm is still in the stream of interstate commerce at the time of sale, whereas in a person-to-person intrastate sale, the fiream has left the stream of interstate commerce. In the case of a person-to-person, interstate sale, the firearm is once again being placed into the stream of interstate commerce, subject to Congressional regulation.
