Sounds like we are actually on the same page. I am all for treating guns like cars. Get some basic training/education, take a standard test to demonstrate that you understand how to operate the equipment safely and you get your certification.
I agree that walking across a state line is a rather arbitrary reason to get in trouble with the law, but I can also see how a largely urban state might view guns differently than a mostly rural state (like mine). Getting states to give up the right to make their own gun regulations in favor of the feds setting a nation wide standard is going to be a tough sell even if it makes life easier for a lot of people.
