Now, if we could manage to rescind the 1986 McClure-Volker Act

I think we want to keep that one, as it provides immunity from prosecution for transporting guns across state lines, when the guns are legal between the starting and ending destinations. For example, suppose you are transporting class III weapons from Texas to New Hampshire. The McClure-Volker Act would prevent you from being prosecuted by anti-gun prosecutors in New York and Massachusetts.

You are right; there are good parts of McClure-Volkmer -- there should be, the NRA had a lot to do with it. But it also has some pretty bad parts, and I would like to see them tossed.

After a quick scan of the web, it turns out that my reverse chronological reversal left out other affronts like the 1996 Domestic Violence law, and of course the Brady bill.
