I've been saying for years all states should adopt the same laws that mine has. It should be uniform across the board. And it could be passed at the state level easily.
As far as suicides go, beats me how you prevent those. I don't have any statistics but I'd bet the number of people who go through the hassle of a background check and obtaining a permit and then go home with their new pistol and blowing their brains out is rather low. And while every suicide is a tragedy, it's kinda hard to judge future intent. And if somebody chooses to off himself then there's not a lot you can do to stop it.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is Ubama's new proposal wouldn't have prevented even one mass shooting or gang murder. All it does is force more people to obtain an FFL or face possible prosecution for selling even ONE gun. And like I said, most people who are truly selling a lot of guns won't mind one bit obtaining an FFL. So his tearful proposal is nothing more than an end run around Congress to test the waters to see if a presidential executive action on gun control can stick. If it does, the next democrat president will use his Magical Mystery Pen to create a nationwide gun registry and then ban certain weapons. Or something wacky like that. That's why the states should act now, so that the federal gubment won't be inclined to fuck around in things that are none of its business.
