John Lott crows that after Virginia's new law goes into effect: "Only three states will still have a one gun a month law" and with good reason. There are some legitimate concerns about people buying guns at retail to then resell so that others who can't pass a background check can obtain guns. But one gun a month laws seem like about the clumsiest way that I can imagine to try and tackle this problem. It suffers most of all from the overbreadth problem: there are many people who might have good reason to buy two handguns at once.
The reason that I like to see these laws go away is that they remind the gun control activists of how tremendously weak they really are.
