To: R. Scott; Congressman Billybob
Congressman Billybob:
First, why does a decision by a Massachusetts court present a national problem?
That's due to the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution, which requires all states to recognize the official acts of other states. And a marriage certificate from one state is clearly represents an official act, when that couple travels to another state.

Why does this apply to gay marriage and not to concealed handgun permits?

Actually it was a rhetorical question. Our “esteemed” news media believes in gay marriage, but does not believe in personal self defense. “Our” elected representatives pander to the media.
