Of course; so we can fight effectively, because misinformation hurts us and there's too much of it going around and there will be more falsehoods spread regarding this in the future.
Understanding exactly what the counties are, and aren't able to enact under the preemption law can help folks work around the law when conducting private sales.
The newspapers and mainstream media will be intentionally spreading misinformation such as "
all private sales must now include waiting periods and background checks", which isn't true at all.
Others who, may be well meaning, will be saying incorrectly, " it's illegal for the counties to enact any ordinance calling for waiting periods and/or background checks."
I believe it's better for folks to know what the counties can, and cannot do under the state legislature's preemption of firearms law so we can fight them intelligently if they try to over reach.
Our big fight is coming, as municipalities are lining up to sue in order to remove the penalties faced by those who intentionally disobey state preemption and enact illegal local laws like they used to do under the original preemption law before it was reenacted to include the penalties.
Ignorance may be bliss, but it's also weakness; and we can't afford to be either ignorant or weak these days.
