They just tried it a couple of months ago. It was a rider called the Thune Amendment. It was narrowly defeated. Didn't have any crazy restrictions. All it said was that if you are a state that offers CCW, you must recognize licenses from other states. Essentially, forced reciprocity for the 48 states that offer CCW, sans Illinois and Wisconsin. CCW licenses would have been given the same treatment as drivers licenses and marriage certificates.
This is correct. It was defeated in the Senate by one or two votes short of a filibuster proof majority.

It didn't allow any new powers to the Feds, it simply would have recognized our RKBA doesn't stop at our own state lines.
