The site is down for maintenance when you try to "confirm" your e-mail address, so they can set it up to delete all the votes. And, so they can start to flag your e-mail account!!

I can't help but think this is a trap. Just a ploy to get people to think that he cares about gun rights so he can use it to his advantage next year.

IMO there are many reasons why things don't change in politics. Two of 'em: politicians remain self-serving and the People remain complacent. "Knock on doors..." to take guns? Seriously? IMO, get real. Could it happen? Sure, because anything is possible. Is this likely? Not in any realistic mindset as the fear-mongers argue. IMO, energies can be better spent. Remain cautious. Think independantly and critically on issues. Evaluate the facts objectively. Validate claims made by all sides. Question. Challenge. Get active in constructive ways. Vote. Complaining changes nothing. I signed the petition.

Well-stated.

Sometimes gun owners can be our own worst enemy. This is one outlet we have to make our voices heard, and people are finding absurd reasons as to why it is fruitless. Ever stop to think that this sort of attitude is exactly what the anti-gun establishment wants?

I do not want the feds anywhere near a national policy on CCW. Many states have a hard enough ccw policy as it is why give the feds the power to add a layer of BS to it.

I know it looks good on paper but it will be used as a tool by anti gunners to make CCW nearly impossible. Any dem who supports this bill has this in mind.

let the states issue reciprocity.

There is a strong argument to be made here, and I completely respect/agree that the state's power should cover this issue.
I don't believe this single petition will actually change anything, but I feel it is important to have the people's opinions heard at every level of government.
Luckily the supreme court as a strong history of supporting the second amendment and individual's rights to keep and bear arms.

We should each look within our state legislature to see if there is a similar petition to sign there as well.

1619 here. Yes, let the states decide reciprocity. That way I'll never be able to carry a gun in the Peoples Demokratik Republik of New York, the Peoples Demokratik Republik of Massachuchetts, the Peoples Demokratik Republik of New Jersey, or Illinois, or Commiefornia or any other anti gun state in the union. I did have high hopes that PA and Ohio would reach an agreement, but it seems the rino govenor is too busy selling all of the state prisons off to bother with a silly thing like reciprocity. Well, maybe someday in my life. There is West Virginia, though.

And yet, a state telling me I can't carry is violating my 2nd amendment rights (even though the 2nd hasn't been defined as protecting carry). Yes, I think my rights are being violated by the simple fact that certain states won't let me carry, while they'll let others carry in their state.

It's not telling states that they need to do anything other than treat it like a driver's license. We would still need to obey the laws of the state. The way it's going on now is a clusterfuck. What if driver's licenses were handled like that? One state doesn't recognize a dozen others because their driver's ed programs aren't good enough. Sounds like a nightmare, huh?
