1974 Committee Comment to H 511

This section retains a provision taking advantage of a permitted exception to the prohibition in the federal law against interstate transactions in firearms between nonlicensees. Generally, the federal firearms regulations prohibit all interstate traffic in firearms except between federally licensed importers, manufacturers, dealers, and collectors. An exception permits transactions in sporting firearms between unlicensed residents of neighboring states, provided certain procedures are followed. The exception is not self-executing, however, and requires affirmative enactments by each of the states involved.
