If I recall correctly, this case came about due to a transfer of antique firearms after the death of a family member, and into her possession.
She was notified of the laws, and after consulting with the ISRA chose to ignore them to make a case out of this, which was what eventually led to her being charged with the violation.
Barring a reversal of precedence, it has been held many times by state and federal courts that states retain the right to regulate firearms for the purposes of public safety. The statements made by the judge seem to be ignoring that rather critical part of his job function.
