The answer is NOT state by state. We need NATIONAL laws. They just buy in one state where it’s legal then transport wherever they want.

In theory. However,
@SenMarkey's state fails to follow the law - only 38 of 347 licensing agents comply with the licensing law according to the state auditor. How will "more government"at a national level do better?https://www.masslive.com/news/2017/07/most_massachusetts_police_depa.html …
