thoughts? here is a more comprehensive look at the overall situation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_sho..._United_States

See this is an example of something that I think is crazy, bordering on comical. The funny part of it is, is that just having that thought would make me an anti-gun commie in some peoples' eyes. That is how far the spectrum is being pushed and how contentious and for/against the whole topic can be.
The first and foremost absurd thing in there is every state having its own rules and regulations. It's pretty much like having a different traffic code for every state. You can't possibly have a nationwide consistent policy in these conditions. There should at the very least be a strong federal framework within which the states can be more restrictive than the federal framework if they wish to, but not more lax.

And then yes, of course, what's the point of having any safeguards in place if there is an obvious and easy way to avoid them.
