You generally shouldn't be able to buy a product legally in one state - be it an automobile, or a drill press or whatever and have it be illegal in another state.

There are abundant examples of this: air pollution control equipment, new cars, medical devices, paint (lead-based paint was banned in states first), home insulation (e.g., asbestos was first banned by some states and then the federal gov't), heat/ac units (which mush meet local energy efficiency standards), building materials (which must meet local building codes), and on and on. The difference is that while these may not be legal to sell or use, simple possession is not illegal. Some states tried to ban possession of radar detectors but failed under court challenges because of this. How firearms can be Constitutionally less protected than paint is mind boggling.
