9. Some points I wanted to make

I am very much in favor of allowing for geographical variance for certain actions. For the most part, I prefer that states make laws for intrastate acts by state residents and visitors. Certain rather rural areas should have permissive open carry allowances. (Example: When camping or hiking in Katmai NP, you don't want to have fumble in a bag for a gun and ammo when there's a bear 30 feet away.) I think all states should permit private property owners/venue operators the discretion to decide to permit or exclude private carrying. If carrying is excluded then lockers and parking areas must permit a lock gun.

Certain federal actions and laws make sense within the current established regulations. Banning bump stocks from sales by FFLs is one thing I'm okay with.

Aspects of the background check system need change and updates. BGCs need to be available to individuals for private sales. Work also needs to be done to mandate data getting into the BGC system.

I'm not crazy about unregulated (no permit required) CC. The feds also need to establish certain reciprocity between states regarding carry laws.

I also favor changes to enhance a militia based system but that's another story.
