Unlikely to survive court challenge.
Why? Because the raw materials in the gun's parts weren't all mined from AZ soil? One of the workers in the factory was born in TX and once lived in CA? If this becomes the new standard for what does and doesn't constitute interstate commerce, then there really is zero limit on federal power. I imagine individuals not living in the same state in which they were born will soon have no more rights under state laws, since they at one time crossed a state line, and so will be subject to new federal laws on the matter.

Still, it's gonna take someone with brass balls and deep pockets who wants to be the first test case. The feds don't like seeing their illegal behavior challenged by the sheeple.
