(39,171 posts)It is a state issue. I cannot sell a gun to someone from another state. I cannot go to another state to sell a gun. That is interstate commerce regulated by federal law. I can sell to a fellow Rhode Islander in Rhode Island - that is intrastate commerce that cannot be regulated by federal law.
2. What is magical about a .45? Looks like a backdoor measure to ban the most popular handguns. Why not say that a oversize mag is one that extends beyond the bottom of the gun butt? Is the difference between 7 and 13 rounds really that significant?
3. One of their four weapons would have been covered by the AWB. Harris used a shotgun and a pistol caliber carbine. Klebold used a shotgun and a semi-auto pistol. Banning AR-15s or AK-47 clones would have had zero effect on Columbine. And lets not forget Va Tech - Cho used handguns with standard mags. He merely reloaded a lot.
