So no laws were changed?
no "laws" were changed when the FDR court rejected over 100 years of precedent and claimed that the commerce clause allowed congress to regulate what a private farmer could grow on his own property for personal use-after early courts had held that the commerce clause said what it meant=congress could regulate COMMERCE AMONG THE STATES but not what a private citizen did in his own sovereign state
what you seem to fail to understand is that what gave the federal government power over licensed dealers was that you need a license to buy new firearms in interstate commerce. Private sellers are currently banned from interstate transactions and until they have such a license that allows them to do so, the federal government is going to have a hard time proving that people LIMITED to INTRA STATE sales are subject to commerce clause jurisdictional authority
