No, I'm still happy to be in Japan. Every country has some sort of issue.So... you're not glad you live in Japan , after all ?
You have to show government ID when you purchase something, so they take into consideration about out-of-state purchases. I'm not familiar with the latest rules though. However, it's common to hear about gun-running between states that have different rules. New York had big problem years ago with guns being run up from the southern U.S. states.Then by this same logic of allowing states to fudge the federal laws I suppose "strict states" should start having borders controls to check whomever is coming from the "lax states" , otherwise it doesnt make much sense: anybody can buy something in , say, Texas which would not be permitted in , say, Vermont and go on a rampage in Vermont
Speaking of borders - if you cross over into a state with firearms in your vehicle, you'd best make sure you're in compliance with wherever your going. People's lives have gotten turned upside down because they took a wrong turn or just were very careless. (Washington DC comes to mind where it's very easy to cross into DC territory from surrounding areas where gun laws are much different than DC.)
