Every state in the United States has better gun laws than us. The reason why they do is because in any state in the US you can go buy a firearm for the express purpose of defending your life and liberty. Yes they may have silly laws but the fundemental right to defence using a firearm is still respected.
Heck even the states with silly laws have better laws than us. For example in California you can buy 30 round magazines, they just have to be pre ban manufacture. Also in California you may take your handgun essentially where you want, you may open carry it loaded without a permit in unincorperated areas, and if you live in one of many interior counties it is not difficult to get a CCW permit. You may also continue to own and use pre ban "assault weapons". Oh and you may have a loaded handgun on hand in your home should you need it to defend yourself.
Now that is one of the worst states. In Arizona, a resident may go buy a handgun if you pass a instant background check, buy a holster, buy some ammo, and then proceed to carry that firearm openly or concealed for self protection without asking the government for permission. You may also buy AKs, ARs, FALs, SCARs, and every other kind of "military style semi automatic" without any license, and you may also buy all the normal and high capacity mags you want. If you want to, if you have the money, in a period of about six months (or less), you can all the scilencers, SBRs, SBSs, and pre 86 full autos you want. Plus when your defenition of an SBR is not less than 18" barrel length and instead is less than 16" which may also include the length of a permanent flash hider SBRs are far less needed or wanted. Also when it comes to machine guns(and other NFA items) when you legally own one you may take it anywhere in the state and shoot it at a range, on private property and wherever else it is legal to discharge a firearm.
You want to know the really messed up thing, in my own country I am not allowed to carry a modern handgun to defend my life, in the United States with one simple ATF form and a hunting license, I am allowed to carry a handgun for defense in 27 states without a permit, despite the fact that I am a non citizen who is not a resident of the country.
Do not ever accept that our laws are; good, just, reasonable or legitimate. Our laws deprive us of our natural rights and are offensive to the very ideas of liberty and freedom.
