I've never known of an online petition that did any good. It's more like data mining if anything.

Usually getting the FED involved tends to screw it up.

I hate not being able to carry in certain states. But giving the Federal Government the power to tell states they have to honor this and that just takes more state rights away. Not to mention the fed could make it so that you have to have a federally issued permit (which no one will be able to get) which is just more gun control. I hope I am wrong but I think this will lead to less rights for us.

Wife and I both hit this.
Even if it makes it to bill form, and passes both houses, (very unlikely I think...  ) I'm almost certain 0 will veto this so fast he'll get pen burn.
Only way this will make it through is if it's attached to something horrible. Better to wait for an R pres, I'm not a parry fan boy, but I have no doubt he'd pass this thing in a hurry. |

I don't get this statment.....How is it the right of states to remove ones' legal right to carry? i have one license to drive thats good for all states..and yet the car kills more people then a firearm every year. Yet I'm legal carry concealed in NH but if i cross over the state line i could get a year in prison (its very easy to cross the state line on back roads and not know,most are marked but these are very old roads with overgrown trees) I just don't get it  are we living in a country...or are we living in a community of countries? each with their own interpretation of the Constitution?

I am just leery of the federal govt stepping in on this issue. Are they going to make us get a nationally registered license? Will it be "shall issue" or will it be up to the discretion of Eric Holder? I certainly hope not. I am just sayin we need less government regulation especially from the Fed. Will this just give them room for back door gun control? I hope I am wrong about it. I will say that this worried me before I ever got an email from "National Association for Gun Rights" concerned about the same thing. |

Thing is the organization already exists, has the head count to do all the required work...and is accountable to get it done right...for if done wrong..poof their goes the system............

Um ...laws are almost always written to stop or prohibit something...yet your comment is aimed like they will force you to do something......like what..alow same sex marriage?...or force you to mow your lawn?...both by the way are unconstitiunal....yet states or better yet city's get to tell you what isn't constitutional? |

Its easier to change this on a local level than a national level. You wont want .GOV having the end say in may issue ,shall issue,round count or whether you can only carry your qualifying pistol. The way to do it is to get the states to agree on a reciprocity system. And it can be done because Missouri permit is good in 37 states. Everything king Midas touches turns to gold, everything .GOV touches turns to .............well you know.

NRA.............. Agreed, the US constitution gives us the right to bear arms. The problem I have is that I don't trust the Fed to honor the constitution in the way that I think they should. I am afraid that they are going to say something like,, "We give everyone the right to carry across any state lines. However, you have to have our permit to do it, and oh by the way it will be VERY difficult to get a permit, and you guys in NH that don't have to have a permit in your state, (because they already honor our constitution), well now you have to have one too. Screw what your state says." Again just my fears. Maybe my tinfoil is too tight. If this passes and I am wrong then this will be a good thing. |
