Showing, say, NY standards doesn't refute the fact that 10 don't even require notification and 25 are either so poorly regulated or not regulated at all.

That's like pointing out beating your children isn't bad if one person ends up turning out okay.
But then I provided the second link:

Here are some relatively recent changes made in New York State:

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
