Sure, they always say we need "rational gun laws". So what do we have now? Some 20,000 irrational laws? Because that's about how many local, state, and federal laws we have regulating the sale, purchase, ownership, handling, and use of firearms in this country. The problem with these people who advocate "rational gun laws" is that they'd like you to believe there are no gun laws at all. Quite the contrary, as you can see.
