who prepared that 2003 study, Rich?

and, clearly, its authors did not consider the myriad of state-based laws dealing with, for example, hunting --right?

Those (hunting) laws do deal, in myriad ways, with what firearm may be carried at what time and under what conditions of use. I cannot take my 38 Spl revolver into the field and call it my hunting rifle, for example.

Each of those are a separate item in a code--and each can be considered a distinct infraction--and therefore, a law that can be broken.

I will also presume that, until I hear otherwise, that this study created 'categories' of those relevant federal and state laws--and I question the reason why the authors would choose to do that.
