Yes, "could." You are guilty of a crime that may happen.

Now, that's what I call "progress." /sarc

That goes back to (at least) the awful 1942 Wickard v Filburn Supreme Court decision which stated that the grain a farmer grows for his own livestock could be limited by the federal government because it could affect interstate commerce since grain was used in interstate commerce.

If a Montana gun jumps the line into the sewer that is Philadelphia and it is in interstate commerce.

If it fails to meet federal criteria, it can’t be sold in the sewer. It is ok however in Montana where the federal law is not applicable and is trumped by state law.
