It happened because the NRA, in its typical fashion, handed the proposed statute to the legislators in Frankfort, Ky. who, as one, flocked to rush its passage to demonstrate their fidelity to the NRA money machine. And none of those geniuses subjected it to staff study for clarity and intelligibility. Now the NRA has accomplish exactly the inverse result vis-a-vis that which was their intent.
Fifteen other states don't seem to have a problem. It may have something to do with an anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-NRA, dem party appointed idiot judge.
If it wasn't for the NRA and the other gun groups, maybe you wouldn't have half the freedoms you're enjoying now.
