Honestly, in some regard I think they do. Granted, they actually want that to pass but I think she does it to grand stand and appeal to her base. The difference is the Dems have never had the opportunity to realistically pass it again, however reciprocity and HPA COULD have easily passed when we had the House, Senate, and Presidency. BUT because of the “optics” of Vegas (nothing to do with suppressors) they pulled it, yet again demonstrating their preference to politics and news cycle over the actual voters who put them into office.
IMO both sides could give a shit about their base as they are already locked in votes. It seems all they care about now is whatever the flavor of the day is to sway moderates/independents.
Based on the 89 and 2005 Republican semi auto bans coupled with Republican majorities not repealing the 94 Democrat ban, Feinstein always stands a decent chance of getting her ban passed.
Or…maybe the GOP does get national reciprocity and HPA attached to the AW ban, and then they vote for the whole shebang because “Oh it’s such a great compromise, look how we fought for your 2A rights and got these things attached to the bill!”
And, bam, now we have an AW ban, which to me, is worse than not having national reciprocity and HPA.
I don’t think this scenario is super likely because the idea of national reciprocity passing will probably drive the Dems to kill their own bill, but I could see the GOP selling us out and portraying it as some huge victory that they fought tooth and nail for.
While not likely to pass, I am glad to see another attempt. I wish as much as everyone else here that the GOP would’ve done this when they had both majorities. We have what we have now, make the calls, send the emails.
I agree they should do it now, but the fact they didnt do it the last 2 years is dissapointing to put mildly.
Should have done the sporter clause as well.
Truth! However, our liberal friends throw poop at the wall on a daily basis and don’t give it a second thought. AFAIC if it clogs a committee for weeks and delays some liberal drivel it’s doing something useful.
HPA and National reciprocity are the same bullshit as a new assault weapons ban. People on both sides will get all worked up about both, and neither is going to pass.
Pre Vegas massacre I could have seen HPA maybe passing, not so much national reciprocity. At this point I see no improvement in laws for gun owners and its super important to not let anything slip.
National Reciprocity doesn’t need to be a Congress thing. It needs to be a Supreme Court ruling. It is clearly a 14th Amendment issue.
We need a state to stop accepting CA and NY drivers licenses and arresting them for operating a vehicle without a license. That is how it it needs to start. Theses Sh!t Stain states don’t take our CCW then we don’t take their DL. There is not a valid legal argument to accept one and not the other.
It would be a simple and fast win for the US Constitution. It is about time that the sane people of this country start to use the same laws against the liberal left as they use against freedom.
This is correct. The original intent of the Founding Fathers was that States would have sovereignty and that the Bill of Rights only applied to the Federal Government. The 14th Amendment changed all that but the left only seems to want to accept that for things they like and disregard it for things they don’t. This was the basis of McDonald vs Chicago.
I national reciprocity ever comes to be you can bet the regulations to get a CCW will be much tighter. It will never pass otherwise. For states that have constitutional carry or a basic equivalent it will suck.
Things you can expect to be required:
-Insurance to carry (Think car insurance)
-A national licensing authority overseeing states. (think D.O.T.)
-Regulations as to what is safe to carry (Like car safety regulation)
-Testing in proficiency to carry (like a drivers road test)
It goes on. National reciprocity is not the great thing every one thinks, unless you live in a state where it could only get better. Those who live in free states have a lot to lose. I live in a state with basically no laws about carrying, I could give a rats aas if I can go carry in California or New york.
That is why I said that it does not need to be a Congress thing. That would put all CCWs in the control of the FED. We know how they like to FUC$ UP stuff like Healthcare.
If it is simply a 14th Amendment item then it will force The Criminal states to take change. It will not help those in Socialist states. But making it worse for those in a free state to help those in the Retard states is not an option. That to is socialism and would only help the left gain more ground and make it easier for them to mess with those in states are not completely socialist.
This is why I am not in favor of national concealed carry. Some states have it good, very good. All ccw laws are not created equal. Like in some states there are no legal teeth to prevent carry on private property where a “no guns” sign is posted. Some allow you to carry in an establishment that serves alcohol, you just cannot be intoxicated. Other states are truly restrictive. We don’t need the lowest common denominator of CCW as our national law.
