Have you folks been receiving emails from the Pro-gun group that is against this bill because they fear that once the Federal Goverment is given any control over concealed carry (even if, at this point, it seems innoccuous) they may use it as a springboard to take more control at a later time?

I wouldn’t be suprised at their proposed scenario. What do you think?

That is one POV.

Another is that the rats have been chipping and nibbling away for a while because the populace would never accept a total ban outright, which is their sole goal. Slowly nibbling back at them is one way to change the status quo.

I would prefer the Sherman in Georgia approach, but don't know if it is doable until the congress is stacked veto proof on our side.

There are too many voters out there who swallow the lib lies, and truly think these inanimate objects are evil.

National Association for Gun Rights has been warning you that H.R. 822 is a Trojan Horse.

Just today, Republicans helped pass an amendment that orders the Feds to investigate the “safety” of mail-in CCW permits from states like Florida, Utah and New Hampshire.

If you possess a NH, FL or UT permit, the Feds are going to investigate if these permits are “safe.”

So-called “pro-gun” Republicans even KILLED an amendment that would have allowed permit holders to defend themselves in the District of Columbia, one of the most dangerous cities in the country.

Over the past two days, amendments have been offered to require REAL ID-type government requirements on state CCW permits as well as giving Eric Holder the power to classify even more gun owners as “terrorists.”

And while these amendments may have failed in the House, Harry Reid’s Senate is sure to put the screws to gun owners.

The Senate DOES have the votes to impose a HOST of anti-gun amendments to H.R. 822 much like they have done with legislation in the past.

While the institutional gun lobby has put its full support behind H.R. 822, gun owners just cannot afford for them to play poker with our gun rights.
