Papa I suspect you are a victim for the media hype. There is No legal mean of Interstate gun trafficking. It is a federal offense period. Each firearm sale has to go through a Federal Background Check Meaning so anyone that is prohibited from owning a firearm the sale is blocked. The only firearm that can be bought by someone who is not a state resident is a long gun (Rifle or Shotgun). Even then the individual buying the weapon has to prove the purchase would be legal in his state of residence. It is Illegal at a federal and state level to sell a resident of another state a handgun of any kind. Hand guns have to be purchased in the state of the buyers residence each and every state does their own background check in addition to the Federal One. So the laws exist and are enforced. There is NO legal means of interstate trafficking. A Criminal is a Criminal and they will ignore whatever law is written.
