A regional problem is exactly what the 1968 Firearms laws were intended to do:make it difficult an add expense for Americans to legally acquire the firearm of their choice.Before 1968 I could have bought a gun in another state but since then it requires paperwork and fees to buy outside my home state.And it only bothers non-criminals.
Exactly! I remember before '68 ordering firearms through the mail from all over the country with no problems.
Then when they passed the GCA68 they instituted the FFL system and the slimy politicians (both R and D) assured everyone that "yes you'll still be able to order through mail, just get an FFL for a small fee. No need to be a business or have a storefront. Any law abiding citizen can get one. Oswald ordered his through the mail, we just don't want criminals to be able to order through the mail. "
The rest is history.
