Perfect, so I would say that what goes in Alaska regarding guns is basically irrelevant to the rest of the states.

Most people who die of gunshots, die from guns legally owned at the time of the shooting.

Okay, Adolf. Thanks.
Um...why do you need them? To kill other people?

No since we're in the majority, we pass laws that suit our purpose. Too bad. Washington DC has restrictive gun laws. Learn to live with the disappointment.

The Constitution grants the federal government no jurisdiction over firearms.
