One would think that, especially since it says right in the constitution that there shall be no ex-post facto laws, but you'd be wrong. I was shocked also, as were lots of other gun owners.

and for those states, great. They actually went through the process of amending their constitution. It's sad to see that they were goaded in to giving their state governments the power to discriminate though. But that's what happens when we have a nation of cowards.
