Can someone please explain the logic behind limits on the amount of handguns you can purchase?

How is that supposed to prevent shootings?

There may be some logic but I'm scratching my head there as well

You only need one handgun to shoot someone. What is the proposed limit?

It’s one per month I believe

I genuinely don’t know how this law would even in theory be beneficial

I believe it is 1 per month.

Gun control advocates will say it's a safety measure to prevent stockpiling.

2nd Amendment advocates will say it is a financial disincentive when combined with the new universal background check law.

Haven't investigated if it controls for interstate transactions (can VA residents drive across the state line and purchase multiple pistols from a Bass Pro in TN?).

But there are multiple rooms in my house.

As a teenager, I walked in an AA male standing over my mother after she and my father had passed out in the living room one night.

If I only have a gun by my bed and I say in my study when I hear someone breaking in what if I don't have enough time to make it across the hall and downstairs in time? This rule is stupid for multiple reasons, but worse of all it is in violation of our God Given rights. Coonman and that entire house need to drug out of their offices and prosecuted the minute these laws impact a life in a negative way.

Someone is going to have to create a gun of the month subscription. Kinda like you can get fruit or coffee delivered to your door on a set schedule, you pay a fee to get a new gun every month.
