I'm disappointed. I was hoping that DU thread would devolve into a Poor-Mouthing Fest or Blue-on-Blue Economic Envy Infighting. Ah, well.
$50K a year is probably a decent salary in some parts of the US. Here in Silicon Valley it might suffice to be able to rent a spare bedroom plus bathroom and kitchen use in someone's house.
This is always the problem with federal solutions to state issues. They don’t match.
People don’t think about that a lot. Firearms is one of those issues. Federal laws designed to deal with places like Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Etc., won’t work for Deep South East Texas, for example. Or any part of Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, etc.
The more local we can keep our laws, the better for everyone.
