In contrast, if you want to live in a state that outlaws gun ownership among everyone except outlaws (who don't follow the law anyway) -- then you are free to do so.
Unfortunately a one size fits all solution from Washington may not be the best policy considering the diversity of such locales as a rural town in Montana and an urban cityscape in Washington DC. Within the framework of the 2nd amendment, each state must be able to tweak gun control laws to suit their specific circumstances.
Yes, because a murder in Washington, DC is different from a murder in Springfield, Montana?
Your argument, or lack thereof, is a ridiculous strawman,
the circumstances, the geography, the population density, the crime rate, the culture, the climate, the economy, etc.... are vastly different in Montana compared to DC. Hence, government needs to be local to account for these differences -- not a one-size fits all solution emanating from the federal government.
