For years, the gun-grabbers have had their way with firearm legislation, and this has led to a nightmare of local laws that have ordinary citizens afraid to lock and load. But on January 20, there will be a new sheriff in town, and it is entirely possible – and right – that this nightmare of laws and restrictions should come to an end.
Federal Government’s job when it comes to anything is to follow the Constitution period.
Guns are already covered by the 2nd amendment and any state that tries to pass laws that interfere with the 2nd amendment should be shot down (no pun intended) by the Supreme Court.
A simple ruling would read “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
This article was all about concealed carry - specifically, about reciprocity between jurisdictions. I’m all for that, because if a marriage or a drivers license has to be recognized from one state or county to another, then so should firearms-related rights.
However, I want MORE. I want the Hearing Protection Act, so that suppressors become over-the-counter items without a serial number or any permission needed to buy one. I want the ‘86 ban on new full autos repealed. I want short-barreled guns off of the list of prohibited-without-permission. Hell, I want the whole NFA to be repealed, but I know that realistically that won’t happen - but we can chip away at it.
Anything would be positive progress. The only problem with the national reciprocity proposed law is that it would only be recognized if you have a concealed carry permit in a state. For those citizens living in the states of California, Illinois, Hawaii, New Jersey, etc. where concealed carry is very difficult to obtain, you’re out of luck. Those state laws are clearly unconstitutional but no one will stop them. Try putting restrictions on abortion nationally and watch liberals go crazy. The new gun laws have to written to free all the slaves, not just slaves in certain states.
