that might have been a valid argument in 1967, but is illegal under the Gun Control Act. I can not go in an Idaho gun store and buy a gun and walk out with it because I am not an Idaho resident. It is also a federal crime for me to sell a gun to anyone who is a resident of a different state without shipping it to an FFL holder in the buyer's state. Also, the ATF says the trace data does not mean there is large scale trafficking. Also, Chicago's problems are a result of wealth inequality, their failed education system, their political corruption, their incompetent police chief. That should have no bearing on my rights.
