Guns

Congressman Scott Rigell of the 2nd CD in Virginia, a republican, has proposed legislation to allow wives or husbands of sailors and other service members to be allowed to  buy a gun outside their home state.  Current law requires those purchasing a gun must buy it in the state in which they live.  Rigell believes that service members are required to move from base to base, thus they need to buy outside their home state to protect themselves "from Islamic extremists, foreign and domestic and lone wolves" (what about other wild animals?).  Considering the number of military personnel who return from overseas duty with post tramatic stress disorder or feelings of suicide, this does not sound like a great idea to me.  (VP 5/14/15).
