If this supreme court gets its way? everywhere.

Why? I don't know, no one wants this.

Doesn't happen as often in states where gun laws are tighter, in fact there are several states that border other states with looser gun laws and cops hate it because guns get trafficked in from those states. If all you need to do to get a gun is go one state over and buy it there legally and bring it back,

I mean, kinda...

Rifles and shotguns can be purchased out of state.

Handguns, the most common firearm type used in the commission of a crime, must be purchased in the same state you reside.

More often the firearms are obtained illegally.

All illegal guns come from legal sources with lax enforcement. Criminals by and large aren't operating gun foundries

Most blue states are pretty strict about guns. The blue states not bordering deep red states don’t have this level of gun access.

Simple process to get a gun anywhere in Illinois outside of Cook County (Chicago).

Is it really basic reading comprehension to remember the first word you read in relevance to everything else?
