What happens when your non-stop XXX-YYY, not touching NY, diverts to JFK, while you are in possession of something that's illegal in NY?
What if the airline then cancels the continuation, leaving you stranded in NY? You get your bags and are then in possession of an illegal thing (such as a gun). Should you now go to jail?

I think the arguments should be made on interstate commerce grounds (among others). Arguing about that would be a lot more productive than arguing about the meaning of the 2nd amendment.
