Gun Control & RKBA

You could ask a LEO how to legally transport guns to the range and they couldn't tell you. They would simply tell you to put them in the trunk, unloaded, and no one would bother you if you get stopped, but it wasn't law and you couldn't be sure, or be assured of unmolested passage. Now we have laws in the books regarding transportation of guns to a range or anywhere else. No one has to fear the discretion of any particular LEO that may pull you over. Many States now have laws on the books so there is no more ambiguity.

NYC thrives on keeping it's citizens afraid to own or transport guns. It makes more people just say "Oh well, I'll just not take my guns when I travel", or "I just won't go to the range", or better yet, "I just won't own guns at all since it's a pain in the rear knowing whats right or wrong".
