Um no, that is certainly the excuse used yes, but it is still dog whistle bullshit for assholes like 45 to call black NFL players "sons of bitches".
But we can go there if you wish. It isn't a matter of the laws being strict, it is a matter of not having a nationwide standard. Of course the laws wont work because guns don't magically stop working in transport.
It still amounts to access. Not legal vs illegal.
This is simply more bullshit the nutters use to make excuses to do nothing. So when they cant flat out sell bigotry, they make it about states rights.
And again, I live in the sticks and I hear stories in NC in a rural area, about gun violence here too. The only reason you hear about more in the city is because it has a bigger population. It isn't a mater of strict, it is a matter of a flooded market nationwide.
Un, no. You can speculate all you you wish about the motivations of people you don't know. Unlike you, I have numbers and laws supporting my point.
Take your tired, angry appeals to emotions and shove 'em. You're entitled to your own opinion. You're not entitled to your own facts. And you certainly should shitcan the snark when you don't even have a single bit of support for your feelz.
TL/DR: Blow me.
