Montana (and 6 other states) are challenging the ability of the federal government to regulate firearms manufacture and sale when those firearms do not cross state lines.
The action is currently at the Ninth Circuit, which will almost certainly rule in favor of the feds, and then it's on to the SCOTUS, where the entire basis for the use of the Commerce Clause to expand the feds' power may come into question.
