• Exempts firearms and ammunition from federal regulation when manufactured from basic materials within the state without significant imported parts.

• Declares that generic and insignificant parts with other manufacturing or consumer applications (such as unmachined steel and unshaped wood) are not subject to congressional authority to regulate firearms under interstate commerce.

• Specifies that imported firearm accessories subject to federal regulation as interstate commerce do not subject a firearm to federal regulation solely because the accessories are attached to or used with a firearm in the state.
