The federal authorities want to use the "interstate commerce" clause to expand their jurisdiction. Their definition of "interstate commerce" is anything that ever crossed a state line.

A mugger in Atlanta uses a (stolen) handgun, and it's federal case, because the gun was made in Connecticut. Soon, there will no longer be any such thing as state or local jurisdictions.
