This seems like a really cool thing to put onto law, but I wonder 1.) If it’ll actually survive federal review, and 2.) If it’ll make a meaningful difference in the amounts of gun violence in the state. I feel cynical for saying this, but I just feel like the central role guns play in the American mythos makes it really hard to solve this cultural problem with taxation and educational campaigns.
I don’t think there’s really a lot the feds could do here aside from saying states imposing their own commerce taxes is unconditional somehow, which would hurt red states A LOT more than California being annoyed at being micromanaged.
