You can carry in Missouri as it is a Missouri law, it does not translate to other states. I previously lived in a constitutional carry state but still kept a CCL so I could legally carry when traveling across state lines.

This is the son of Jimmy Carters’ SOS? He was addressing the NYC Republican Party? SO he’s the Manhattan District Attorney but not the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY/Manhattan, who’s Preet Bharara who President Trump chose to retain in one of his first post-election choices.

My problem admittedly without much thought is that conservatives are strong on “states’ rights” so why are they making this federal legislation? If TX want open carry, that’s the choice of the people there, and if NY doesn’t want it, it’s similarly their choice. This could be opening a mega can of worms.

Vance held that strict gun laws in the region, “are a significant part in the rapid and consistent decline in violent crime in New York state and New York City.”

A flat out lie and Vance knows it.

The GOA-backed bill is better.


GOA is in favor of H.R.38.

Cornyn’s bill is supposed to mirror H.R. 38.

It has not been introduced yet, so we cannot check it word for word.

Wait. Wouldn’t such a federal law be anti-10th Amendment and state sovereignty? Wouldn’t this be an example of the “central planning” that we don’t like? Confused here.


No, because of the 14th Amendment, the Federal government has the right and duty to enforce the Bill of Rights in the states.

Under the Interstate Commerce Clause, it should be able to prevent states from restricting private property movement between the states.

I got one that doesn’t require any new ‘law’. It’s called: defend the Rights of the People, suppressed and usurped under Color of Law. An inalienable Right, as re-affirmed in the 2nd Amendment.

I as well have no faith in anything coming out of Cornyn’s mouth. He goes back home and talks like a conservative, then when he gets back to DC you can normally find him trying to put his snout up the Quisling Juan McCain’s backside.

I wonder how my Nebraska permit and firearms would work in, oh Maryland, with their 10 rd mag capacity ban?

yeah I spoke way too soon. GOA’s latest email says that this is a good bill.

This House Bill looks stronger than Cornyn’s version.
