7. The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act - it isn't dead

Looking at your chart - a nut with a desire to murder randomly that resides in Arizona decides to come to NJ and fire their guns at the school in my town - The Republicas think that's just fine and dandy. It was difficult to pick what to snip from this article - but I think I picked the best four paragraphs.

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would allow gun owners who have a concealed carry permit in their home state to bring their firearms in any other state with concealed-carry laws.

"This operates more or less like a driver’s license,” Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), the second-ranking Republican in the upper chamber, told The Hill. "So, for example, if you have a driver’s license in Texas, you can drive in New York, in Utah and other places, subject to the laws of those states." 


Everytown for Gun Safety:

Federally imposed concealed carry laws interfere with states’ fundamental right to determine who is too dangerous to carry hidden, loaded guns in public,” Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt told The Hill.


The next three "sentence paragraphs" are worth doing to the link.

I'm watching Rev Al - and it's coming up that folks cross stare lines to get their guns. I'd we are going to lose our States Rights to determine who ay conceal carry - then states who want a two year old carrying a gun should lose their right to hand out guns left and right.

And it's hyperbole - and I don't care! It's hyperbole to state "the gub'mint is gonna take yer guns!"
