These are laws created by people like yourself who base judgement on what makes them feel uncomfortable instead of fact, and the result is clearly contradictory rules that truly benefit nobody except anyone who wets their pants whenever they see a gun.
Handguns are dangerous, particularly dangerous in fact, because they are easily concealed, surreptitiously carried into places with a lot of unsuspecting people, and be quickly fired. One would have thought that was obvious.
