Why make laws that will not be enforced?

Luddite's question is one of jurisdiction. Only the Feds are
responsible for enforcing federal law, i.e., The FBI, BATF, Secret
Service, marshalls, etc.

That is why most federal gun laws are mirrored in state law, which can
actually be a lot more restrictive.
It also tends to give the cops leverage because they can arrest you on
the state charge and turn it over to the feds if they are ****ed at
you where the penalties are much harsher.
