Republicans are attempting to pass national reciprocity, though the likely hood of the legislation succeeding is pretty slim. The Washington Examiner reports:
The ranks of gun owners with approved concealed carry permits has swollen to 17 million, and new legislation offered in the Senate Thursday would make it easier for them to carry their weapons across state lines.
Bolstered by a larger pro-gun caucus in the Senate, Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn is introducing his latest version of the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.
“This bill focuses on two of our country’s most fundamental constitutional protections — the Second Amendment’s right of citizens to keep and bear arms and the Tenth Amendment’s right of states to make laws best-suited for their residents,” said Cornyn, a top Senate GOP leader.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance this important legislation for law-abiding gun owners nationwide,” he added.
Liberals say that if outlawing guns saves only one life, it would be worth it.
If so, then if stopping illegals from entering the U.S. would save one life, it would also be worth it.
If republicans were actually serious about this they could have done it before the democommunists took over the House. This is just pathetic show.
There appears to be a misconception about the difference between a “Simple Majority” and “Veto Proof Control.” The Republican’s had a “Simple Majority” in Congress, made up of RINOs, Far Right Conservatives, and moderate Republicans. Passing ANY major bill, that requires funding, requires 60% +1 of the Congress. The RINOs and Far Right Conservatives were nothing more than obstructionists.
Why didn’t the Republicans get it done during the just ended session, when they held majorities in both houses?
