I personally believe there are 2 things the government should not be allowed to have knowledge of. That is how much money someone makes and what individuals own guns.

Beyond the Second Amendment there is the NFA which defines everything from the length of a Barrel.The overall length of a Firearm (for something to be considered a "Long Gun" It needs an Overall length of 26 plus inches) What is the maximum bore size (.50) Suppressors, what the make up of a projectile can be, Automatic fire all are defined. Papa's point was the conflicting state laws I believe. What has always been interesting to me is that Canada (which has some of the most prohibitive firearms law of any country) allows the importations of weapons that are illegal here in the US. (the VZ 58 jumps to mind)
