If you are a CCW holder, ask your pol why you can't buy a handgun out of state, since you have already passed a state and federal background check.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 which was really a harsh law which is still hurting us. A few of the provisions have been softened over the years but that was the worst one ever.
The worst part is most of the gun manufacturers stabbed us in the back because it had a provision banning military surplus. That part was dropped in the 80s and I never knew why as both Bob Dole and Teddy Kennedy supported dropping that part of the law. My guess is there was some sort of tit for tat.
I have read many times that the NRA even supported it. That eventually led to a member revolt and big changes in the NRA.
