Since these two bozos "think" that the weapon will be used destructively in their districts, the law should specify that NOBODY IN THEIR DISTRICTS MAY PURCHASE THE WEAPON.
There.
Perhaps the gang-bangers will sue under the 14th Amendment. Let them.

Davis believes the 500 Magnum has a greater potential for becoming a lethal inner-city status symbol than an effective
hunting tool, at least in his congressional district. He added that its high power combined with its concealability could make it the "weapon of choice" for urban gangs.
"If you live in a place like Chicago, and you know the amount of violence that is perpetrated by individuals who grow-up with the idea that having, handling and using a gun is a way-of-life in terms of establishing yourself on the streets or as part of the culture, then I'm afraid that many of these individuals will, in fact, acquire this weapon," Davis said.
Ya think maybe these two concerned legislators ought to be concentrating on cleaning up their city and district instead of going bonkers over a handgun? Who elected these kinds of people who get their information and make decisions on "tips" (especially when they openly state they are not "gun experts")????
