That's not the case at all. That article dealt with travellers with firearms passing between states in the air or on the ground being protected in their property. I had nothing to do with transporting firearms as merchandise. That was covered by the 1968 Gun Control Act.
Maybe the author thought it was a good idea that an American travelling by plane making a connecting flight in Chicago with a hunting gun in checked baggage could be arrested by the Chicago police for merely landing at O'Hare? Should a vacationer travelling from New Hampshire to Florida by car have to swing a 1000-mile detour around Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Maryland?
What an idiot. Shut up, kid.
College, yet.
“First, the law made it illegal to transfer guns from legal owners to unauthorized persons while expanding the definition of “prohibited” citizens”
This writer does not have their facts straight, I would bet that they read both the “Gun Control Act of 1968” and the “1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act” maybe once or twice and the banged this essay out and posted it.
The GCA of 1968 was the “law” that Established “prohibited persons”, not the 1986 law.
He also glossed over the fact that the 1986 law basically froze the supply of Class III fully automatic weapons by snuffing out domestic manufacture of them.
