Yeah, but they always get it in the wrong order.
If you're that miserable/angry/crazy and can't cope, you're supposed to shoot YOURSELF first.. then, if that doesn't work, you can shoot other people..

Saw this today at lunch and was relieved that it said old and not wood. Don't get me wrong.. I feel bad for the victim's familes, but I know 1 or 2 people at the woodbridge location.

True but they are less likely to try if they know the majority is packin heat. I cite, Texas as an example.

And yet there's enough variation, State to State, that interstate gun trafficking can and does exist.

Papa I suspect you are a victim for the media hype. There is No legal mean of Interstate gun trafficking. It is a federal offense period. Each firearm sale has to go through a Federal Background Check Meaning so anyone that is prohibited from owning a firearm the sale is blocked. The only firearm that can be bought by someone who is not a state resident is a long gun (Rifle or Shotgun). Even then the individual buying the weapon has to prove the purchase would be legal in his state of residence. It is Illegal at a federal and state level to sell a resident of another state a handgun of any kind. Hand guns have to be purchased in the state of the buyers residence each and every state does their own background check in addition to the Federal One. So the laws exist and are enforced. There is NO legal means of interstate trafficking. A Criminal is a Criminal and they will ignore whatever law is written.

I'm not a victim of media hype. I also know that there's no LEGAL means of interstate gun trafficking. It's not, however, like you have border guards between your States.

Papa, I was not trying to be condescending I apologize if it came off that way. I see How the Media Portrays the Firearms and it is Hilarious in many ways. Form someone going to some Southern State and buying a trunk load of hand guns and driving them unnoticed to a state like NY. When the reality is that sequential purchase set off alarm bells at every level federal and state.I was responding to the idea that the there is no unified Federal Mechanism. There is and it works rather well. No it is not like we we have Border Guards although Here in NH we did have a Bill to Put Up signs Warning People that they are Entering Massachusetts because so much of what is legal in every other state is illegal in Massachusetts
Again My only point is that there is a Unified Federal Structure.

except, I can tell you from experience you can only buy a gun in the state you reside in or one state over. even though it is a Federal check you can not just go somewhere else and make your purchase.
If buying out of state the state where you purchase must border your state of residence.

A shill legally buys firearms in one State, then sells them off to people in another State. Unless they've started up roving bands of Federal firearms inspectors, in the last couple of years, this method works very well for supplying people who wouldn't otherwise qualify for ownership.

that would make one a convicted felon once caught.
