The idea of states rights is just another collectivist word game designed to confuse the issue. Unfortunately, we have gotten used to the nomenclature.
Let’s see if we can get them to roll over for national Constitutional carry!
The right to keep and bear arms is a civil right. It is as much a civil right as the right to free speech, the right to a free press, the right to practice one’s religion freely, and so on down the line. It’s right there in the Constitution.
So - from now on, we should label “Gun control” people as “anti-civil rights activists”.
I am dubious about federal involvement in this. States reach reciprocity agreements because they want to, or not.
So what if the federal government decides that all States must honor homosexual marriages from the half dozen States that allow it? That is reciprocity as well.
It also opens the door to the onerous REAL ID, that most States don’t want. Recognition of other States licenses is also reciprocity.
The list goes on and on. It is just better to keep the federal’s nose out of it.
“Shall not be infringed” is the “Supreme law of the Land”. If you come for my guns, I will kill you.
The arrogance of government at all levels, should be enough to make every American recoil.
