I'm of two minds on this. While reciprocity would be nice and convenient, legislation like this makes the a priori concession that the Federal gov't has authority of the States in this matter. I read 2A to say the Feds have no such authority.

Good for Stearns. Of course, leftists have worked for DECADES to disarm the public. It’s just too tough—and damned DANGEROUS—to try to enslave 150 million ARMED Americans!!!

I really don’t want the Feds involved in this at all. Let the states come together on their own. The 2A is ours, not theirs.

I’ll pass, once a Right is “regulated” it is no longer a Right at all... in the end a National Reciprocity law will become the National Firearms ID... for “standardization” and “safety” of course.

[Gilbo_3]

with any fed decree there WILL be a set of rules [nature of any 'law'] and of course, there will be some 'compromise' in the rules...

wouldnt take much to weasel the whole country into NYC style reciprocity to level the playing field...

i'll keep what lil flyover country FReedom i have, rather than deal with another infringement...

heres an idea, we could codify our God-Given Right to keep and bear arms...

wait...

what ???

The full faith and credit clause of the constitution already requires that a license issued in one state be honored in the other 49. What we need is a supreme court decision, not a new federal law that will undoubtedly include new universal “off limits” places and other requirements (training, age limits, etc.)
