It's harder for criminals and gang-bangers to conceal a long gun, or so the theory goes. Is it logical? Not very, but then not much that's governmental is logical.

don't comprehend, individually. I skinny in case you will be despatched to conflict, vote, and get married, you're individual sufficient to purchase a handgun. easily maximum states do no longer limit the age of handgun possession to 21. it is federal regulation that federal approved sellers won't be able to sell handguns to adults below 21. it extremely is not to declare that an 18 twelve months old won't be able to, legally obtain a handgun from a broker who wasn't an approved broker. It relies upon on the state.

as some have alluded to gun laws are in a constant state of attack from various groups(PETA, anti-gun etc.) and they usually target one or two issues at a time. Might be handguns one day, shotguns another, safety courses or compulsory registration another day. Depending on how well gun owners defend their rights on each individual issue the goverment passes laws. We win some and we lose some which explains why the laws do not precisely match up every time.

well think that its not based on the power but on how you can conceal handguns fairly easy. Shotguns and rifleas are pretty big so it is hard to hide thaem and carry them around.
