If I have a drivers license. a Social Security number. and everything else. from another State. showing that I am a resident of that State. and I can get a gun today. it would not make any difference whether you do it in an interstate purchase or a local State purchase. if that is the case. This does not change or make it easier for felons to get handguns. We also provide. as the Judiciary bill has copied from us. additional persons who are disqualified. along with persons who are felons. illegal aliens. dishonorably discharged veterans. and former citizens of the United States. In that regard. I would like to point out. especially to the law enforcement people who are in the Capitol. that the bill that came out of the Judiciary Committee clearly states that any convicted felon can possess and receive a handgun.
