Reasons it makes sense:
#1 Feel Good legislation. You’ll vote to reelect the legislator, but he’ll still get gun money support
#2 Gun control legislation has to be passed incrementally, one small restriction/requirement at a time. A true control bill with teeth won’t pass
#3 It allows for conviction of a criminal on some charges even when the main case fails. Can’t convict on the armed robbery and get bad guy off the street? Get him for possession of the illegal/unregistered/un-permitted gun and get him off the street.
There is a method to the madness
