explain why bloomberg and co always want other state to have less strict rules than them

from pushing DC to drop the handgun ban to avoid court challenge (ultimately DC lost and we got heller decision)
THey dont want Chitown or IL to have May issue for fear the court challenge may strike down NYC own may issue practices.
They even pressured Maryland to reduce chance of challenge (still moving thru the courts but for now May issue is valid)

Hoyt have you noticed this or looked into it?
