For me to get a concealed carry permit is for all intents and purposes impossible. While they are technically issued in my home state and NYC, they are reserved exclusively for those with major political influence and celebrities. For anyone else, it simply will not be approved under any circumstances.
How about Conaco-Phillips? They have declared war on their own employees over the right to have firearms in their parked automobiles.
Alaska, Oklahoma, & Utah have declared such parking 'wars' unconstitutional, with other States soon to follow.
Surprisingly, there is FR opposition to this type of State action. Go figure.
Remember that his bill applies only to firearms that moved in interstate or foreign commerce. That's clearly within the jurisdiction of the Feds.
I don't think federalism applies here. Gun control leads to genocide and democide when nitwits, Clowns and nuts get hold of the reigns of power and in my view must be abolished EVERYWHERE. even in the "blue" states. This calls for a NATIONAL policy on the subject AWAY from gun control and this is a step in the right direction. Actually what is needed is either a supreme court decision that the Second Amendment protects a NATIONWIDE INDIVIDUAL RIGHT or a change in policy at the White house that ends all forms of subsidies for states practicing any gun control law going beyond the Gun Control Act of 1968 as amended by the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of the Reagan Era and finally the Congressional REPEAL of those two with a proviso for no further subsidies for any state practicing any form of Gun Control at all.
