I guess they missed the dropping crime rate and the numerous studies showing that CCW does not increase crime.

[Noumenon]

Oh so NOW this fascist piece of filth is a champion of states’ rights. Whoo’da thunk it?

[cotton1706]

Of course consealed carry bills are dangerous...to the murdering criminals. And that’s why you’re so taken aback, Senator.

FU D Fineswine, You hysterical frightened Socialist W....

[Dysart]

Oh, look, a study found something favorable to her leftist ideology. That’s so authoritative. And unexpected. As good people begin to defend themselves more and more against reprobate savages expect others like this totalitarian attempt to disarm and imperil them (the good guys, not the bad guys). Watch.

I think that it would be fair for a State to require that a resident of that State should have a CCW permit from that State, and not from another. If you move from State 1 to State 2, State 2 requires that after a certain amount of time you have to get a driver’s license from State 2 and your State 1 driver’s license is no longer valid. It’s not at all valid that if you live in State 1 and are not eligible for a driver’s license there you could travel to State 2, get a driver’s license there and then use it indefinitely in State 1. CCW permits could be the same.

So, Sen. Feinstein thinks there’s an exception to the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution? Good to know when it’s time to argue about the Constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act.

[PapaBear3625]

The report found that a permit seeker who could not qualify for a permit in one state (due to a disqualifying offense such as a violent crime) could simply apply for a permit in another state

Being convicted of a violent felony is a federal disqualification in all 50 states. Unless she means that a misdemeanor shoving-match from 20 years ago should forever disqualify one from CCW.

[docbnj]

Look at the full GAO report. It could have been written as an overnight homework assignment by a junior-high-school student. It has very little information or detail, and it does not even prove her point.

Yet Feinstein give a news release on this, to give the impression that some sort of serious research was involved. It is a sham!

[Talisker]

Hey Diane, do you carry a gun?

Simple question.

Yes, or no?

[BenLurkin]

She just doesn’t want to admit that California gun laws are draconian.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Doesn’t Feinstein have her carry permit in California in spite of them being impossible to get unless you have money or connections?

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Can we Please ALL SAVE THIS PIC of Senator Dianne Machine Gun Kelly Feinstein threatening a room with an AK?

Please?

It’s about 2/5ths of the way down from the top of the page.

Maybe someone here can host it so everyone gets a real good look at Senator Hypocrite?

my UTAH CWP came in the mail today... good in over 30 states

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I am still apprehensive about any federal involvement here, because it intrudes on states ability to have reciprocity agreements among themselves, without having the feds force them down the states’ throats.

For example, what if a Democrat congress passed a law requiring reciprocity between those states who permitted homosexual marriage and those who didn’t? If this gun thing passes, that will almost certainly be on their agenda.

Think of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, where free states were compelled to return slaves to slave states, because being a runaway slave was illegal in slave states.

I do not want Massachusetts or California law crammed down my states’ throat, maybe over treatment of illegal aliens or having to collect that other states sales taxes, or innumerable other crapola like that.

If my state wants to sign a reciprocity agreement with them, it should be our choice to do so, not a federal dictate.

[OldPossum]

Concealed carry reciprocity legislation is opposed by major national law enforcement organizations including the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

And we all know how representative the members of these organizations are of the LEOs on street.

[OldPossum]

should be “on the street.” Sorry.

[Still Thinking]

“The findings confirm my long-standing view that legislation designed to force nearly every state to accept concealed carry permits issued by other states would put the lives of Californians and other Americans at risk.”

How did it do that? Did the GAO soak the pages in crack and you smoked the report?
