That’s a hell of an assumption
Proposals to limit handgun purchases to one per month may finally see some legislative debate in the state House of Representatives.
Whether support for the idea will gather any momentum is another question, considering that hunters and other gun owners have a vast number of allies in the Legislature.
The House will attempt to gauge support for a variety of crime-fighting measures – including new handgun regulations – by meeting as a “committee of the whole” on Sept. 26 and taking informal votes. Those votes will determine which bills merit further consideration in regular session.
Limiting handgun purchases to one a month is not a crime-fighting measure. Such a measure has no impact on crime and only affects the law-abiding.

I would add a friendly amendment that you could sell unused purchase opportunities (like tobacco allotments).
Not that I would ever be selling them.
