Like many others, I tire of the silly rules that prohibit you from purchasing the exact same weapon in 49 states that you could lawfully buy in your own state (I am uniquely able to buy in 3 states at the moment due to military location, state of residency, etc.). Or- you can purchase it with a note from you FFL which incurs additional red tape and fees.
I think that in modern mobility society this is a law that is long overdue to change.
I think the first step to changing this is to form a wedge on the issue. For instance, as a CCW holder, you should be able to purchase a handgun in any state that honors your CCW. In todays' tough economy that should increase firearm sales and revenue (albeit many of the gun sales will likely be FTF). But imagine you are on an out-of-state trip and you lose or break your gun for whatever reason. You are now defenseless! And that just isn't right.
My activism proposal is for you to write your congressmen with the notion that gun purchases are a fundamental 2A right that transcends artificial state boundaries.
