I wonder if it holds up at the state level.

Each state has different firearm availability and laws.

Some states have very liberal gun laws, including automatic or semi-automatic weapons and concealed carry. Others have very strict laws, and with limited types of guns available and a loaded gun in a car or concealing a handgun would involve jail time.

Restrictions per state don't mean a whole lot if you can just drive to another state without border checks, though.

Except when most of the guns used in crimes come from within the state, how are you going to scapegoat those other states?
