    Guns have more legislation written about them than nearly any other product. They are heavily regulated. They are not effectively regulated however.

      This ineffectiveness is directly due to NRA lobbying, and their zero-tolerance attitude towards any new gun legislation. Any gun-friendly lawmaker who even gets close to writing gun control legislation will end up getting harassed (and likely primaried in the next election). So when gun control legislation passes, it’s inevitably written by people who don’t understand guns at all. No wonder it’s all shit!

      Maybe now that the NRA is having financial difficulties legislators will have make leeway to enact things that might have a chance of working.
