Be careful of what you wish for. If Congress can say that states cannot control gun ownership within their borders then that same Congress can say they can regulate gun ownership within the entire country. Are you willing to trust some future Democrat congress with that?
The same powers that allow New York to be hyper-strict on gun ownership allows Missouri to be far more reasonable. I'd like to keep it that way.
I would disagree to an extent, though I do quite understand your point and that risk.
I would rather have it that way than this hodgepodge dog’s breakfast of contradictory and often confusing rules that got this poor guy a jail sentence.
The fact that I cannot cross a border without fear of inadvertently transgressing some dozens of different rules and regulations and ending up in jail like this guy means that whenever I travel out of state, I am unprotected. And those times on the road are times when you may have a greater need of the right to protect yourself with a firearm (being in unfamiliar places, etc.)
Sure, I could familiarize myself with my travel route, all the places I go, get the book on all of them and learn it, but...I am only human. I may forget some key factor or rule, and as this shows, the a-holes that wrote and enforce these stupid laws don’t care if they destroy an individual, as long as their political goals are achieved.
