Well, sorry you think so, but several states disagree with you. I suppose you think they are just being stupid, with their stupid ideas.

“Originally introduced and passed in Montana, the FFA declares that any firearms made and retained in-state are beyond the authority of Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the states.

“Following initial Montana enactment, clones of the Firearms Freedom Act have subsequently been enacted in Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming and South Dakota, and other clones have been introduced in the legislatures of twenty-some other states.

“The FFA is primarily a Tenth Amendment challenge to the powers of Congress under the “commerce clause,” with firearms as the object – it is a state’s rights exercise.”

“Plaintiffs filed suit in support of the law, in federal district court, on October 1, 2009. These plaintiffs are the Montana Shooting Sports Association, the Second Amendment Foundation, and MSSA president Gary Marbut. The legal complaint states that Marbut “wishes to manufacture and sell small arms and small arms ammunition to customers exclusively in Montana, pursuant to the MFFA, without complying with the NFA or the GCA, or other applicable federal laws.”

“On September 29, 2010, U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy dismissed the suit “for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.”

“The Plaintiffs have filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral arguments in MSSA v. Holder are scheduled to be heard by the Ninth Circuit on March 4, 2013, in Portland, Oregon.”

In any event, have a stupid day.

You are missing the point. For the last time ... show me a gun manufacturer or any manufacturer for that matter that will set up a factory to make items only to be sold within one state?
