[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2185198, member: 1132"] The CATO Institute and Mr. Levy seem to suffer under the labored delusion that the federal government would actually operate under or enforce the laws on the books equally and impartially. They do not. They also see some of these benefits as benefits. They are not. For example, you can legally buy a handgun in any state you want. You simply need to have it transferred to a dealer in your state for final delivery. The cost of that occasional out of state transfer is far outweighed by paying a transfer fee on private transactions. That 15 year penalty for violating the law? Preposterous. I go on record as stating that not one single government employee would EVER be sucessfully prosecuted and imprisoned on that charge. It doesn't address qualified immunity and it doesn't offer the ability to hire an independent prosecutor to pres the charge, both of which would be necessary for a successful prosecution. There are similar holes in the rest of these "benefits". Manchin-Toomey isn't worth the paper it's written on for gun owners, regardless of any rewrites. :( [/QUOTE]
