The State could do that...with probable cause you purchased the firearm after 2013. Outside of probable cause that would constitute a fishing expedition and illegal. But when did that stop the government from at least trying it. When I was in federal law enforcement the Assistant US Attorney would question why the subpoena request and if the answer wasn't sufficient it wouldn't happen. Of course...that means one has an Assistant US or State's Attorney that believes in the law or simply making political points and getting some media coverage.
Such actions by the State would form the basis of lawsuits for exceeding Constitutional authority and placing unwarranted burdens on manufacturers and stores for complying with such fishing expeditions. That also means someone has to suffer arrest or other injury before they can have standing to sue. The State also has nearly unlimited deep pockets where the individual does not.
