I'm not sure the Glock holster vs Glock magazine example supports your claim at all; there are a huge number of regulations surrounding magazines around the world and even within the US that mean the same magazine legal in Montana is banned in CA, CT, NY, etc. It is far easier to blanket ban selling regulated gun parts than to try to enforce the rules for each place. I'm not aware of anywhere that Amazon is operating where a holster is a prohibited item; certainly nowhere in the US.

Maybe in the case of magazines they have legal motivation to prohibit it, but there are many prohibited firearm accessories for which that isn't a plausible explanation. For instance they forbid ejection port covers. I think this is probably because they often have edgy shit written on them: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=ejection+port+cover+&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=ejection+port+cover+&iax=im... Such ejection port covers have been the subject of public controversy: https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/youre-fucked-acquittal-officer-brailsford-and https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/youre-fucked-a... Also, they explicitly permit the sale of some items which have geographic restrictions, such as airsoft guns, replica and toy guns, and night vision or infrared scopes. I think these are probably all county wide restrictions rather than state specific (night vision cannot be exported due to ITAR, for instance), but I could be wrong.
