Looks that way, according to the Washington Post.
As the Senate prepares to begin debate next week on the biggest gun-control bill in nearly two decades, the gun rights lobby and its Senate allies are working on a series of amendments that could have the opposite effect — loosening many of the restrictions that exist in current law.
Most worrisome to those who advocate new gun limits is an expected amendment that would achieve one of the National Rifle Association’s biggest goals: a “national reciprocity” arrangement, in which a gun owner who receives a permit to carry a concealed weapon in any one state would then be allowed to do that anywhere in the country. Other pro-gun proposals would make it easier for dealers to sell their merchandise between states or let certain people who had been treated for mental illness regain the right to buy weapons.
The freewheeling Senate chamber has always been a place where legislation can take an abrupt detour. But rarely has there been so much potential for unpredictable turns as on gun legislation, where allegiances break down not along party lines, but along regional ones and an urban-rural divide. ...WaPo
We're not talking only about some slimy deal from Republicans. We're talking about Democratic senators, a list of six. Enough to lead the Senate backwards into trouble. Mind you, that trouble is destined for the rest of us. These guys spend most of their time in a cocoon -- a well-protected government-defended building.

The NRA has lobbied successfully in dozens of states for concealed-carry permit programs, and winning “national reciprocity” has been a long-held goal for the group....

Hmmm. Thanks. I think this “angle of protest”, is kinda like br’ar rabbit. Once they get the nat’l registration, the rest is just a matter of socialist/fascist incrementalism. They have to gather full info, no matter what “reciprocity” is enacted. Once, the info is fully accounted... we are done as a Free Republic, for a long, long time.
I don’t. One statute at the federal level can be overturned in a month or with an amendment to a 2,700 page bill. State reciprocity is so much more robust.
Don’t sell out. Ever. Wake up. We are well past dreams, of the past. Today is the Day. All the best, to ya, chulaivn66.
funny thing, where you have the right to carry there isn’t nearly the amount of wilding beatdowns as there are in say Chicago.
Cause here in Floriduh if a gang of holders people try it they know they might just get shot ala trevon.
