Abuses like this will not be ended, because it is far too useful to both sides of the political spectrum. The Right gets to police abortion nation-wide, while the Left can use it to police guns nation-wide.
In the latter case, New Jersey could check if any NJ residents have traveled to one of the companies that sells parts kits; if the dragnet reveals any NJ resident to have done so, NJ prosecutors might be able to convince a judge that they have probable cause to search that NJ resident's home for illegally-made firearms.
The only question is how creative states and the Feds will be with this data. Flock has an API [0], so I can imagine a YC-funded startup "revolutionizing how police find criminals". A bipartisan dystopia is only an API away.
