Like for crime and punishment?We are the United States of America. There is a federal government that oversees small things like distributing wealth and maintaining an army, but a lot of political power is within the states. Imagine it's similar to the EU where each country has different laws, but the EU has a little bit of power. The US federal government does have more power than the EU (where, in my eyes, the EU is like the United Nations where they say they have power but no one really cares or follows what they say).

You cannot buy a firearm from a different state (legally). Wherever you live, you need to follow that state's rules. In Washington DC and Maryland, it's nearly impossible to get a gun, so a lot of federal employees live in Virginia to own guns and then commute to DC. If you get a speeding ticket in Ohio and you live in California, and you want to take it to court, you need to go back to Ohio to go to the court.
The differences for firearm regulation between states is pretty similar in some regards and vastly different in other regards. They all follow the same general rules, but some states really cut corners and others follow it to a tee. Some make it really, really difficult.
