Not much of an improvement as you point out.

 From an outsider’s point of view, it is not the law that needs to be 
changed but attitudes. Earlier in the year I was working in Hobbs NM, 
just a few miles from the Texas border. During a meal I did a straw poll 
and only one of our six American colleagues did not own a firearm. Most 
had more than one. The most shocking case was the Training Manager (a 
hog riding, pistol packing mamma). She was five foot two with her hands 
in the air and had an arsenal at home that could supply a small army. I 
was just lost for words.
