The anti-gun lobby hopes you don’t care. I hope you do.

I don’t know what non-gun owners know about gun regulations already being enforced around the country. Some may think there are no regulations or may not know the extent of the regulations in existence. It varies from state to state because it is the state’s government responsibility for the legislation, not the federal government. The people of each state have the say over the laws enacted in their respective state. The citizens of New York have no say in what the citizens of Montana want or need in respect to their state and vice-versa. The Federal Government has no authority to legislate gun laws or ammunition laws in any state.

The “Proposed regulations to restrict the illegal use of prescription narcotics” is an outline based on the concealed-carry regulations legislated by my state government and in effect 21 years. The outline also includes some new “currently proposed to the federal government” additional regulations in relation to purchasing and/or owning ammunition. Concealed carry does more to reduce crime in my state than all the laws on the books put together. Laws are meaningless if someone does not intend to obey them. An armed potential victim is a tangible deterrent who is already at the scene of the crime.

I will break down my responses in parts one and two since you have covered different and distinct areas. You can readily exchange gun owner with patient/drug user, pharmacy with gun dealer and in some cases drug manufacturer with gun manufacturer.
