Yesterday, the Louisiana Senate unanimously passed NRA-backed Senate Bill 39. Sponsored by state Senators Eric LaFleur (D-28) and Neil Riser (R-32), this bill would clarify that Louisianans may purchase a long gun in any state, and allow a citizen of any other state to purchase a long gun in Louisiana, so long as both states allow such purchases. SB 39 has been assigned to the House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice.

We need to remove all of these hindrences on commerce between citizens of the states.

so long as both states allow such purchases.

If they hadn't put that bit of garbage in there, it would be a good bill. The above phrase is a weasel word to make sure the law will essentially have no effect.
