It would depend on the wording of the particular law and court challenges to it. As for the UFA, it voided any local laws concerning the carrying, transfer, or possession of firearms enacted prior to it's enactment and prevents any local law from being enforced that are enacted after it's enactment. It should and in my opinion also prevents the enactment of local laws, but so far it seems as though local laws can be enacted, they will just loose the case in court later.
