Sen. Cornyn Reintroduces National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation
[GunsAmerica] National Concealed Carry Reciprocity is back on the table thanks to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who reintroduced legislation this week that would allow licensed concealed carriers to bear arms in all 50 states.

"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 Sen. Cornyn of S.69, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.

"I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance this important legislation for law-abiding gun owners nationwide," he added.

The National Rifle Association was quick to applaud Cornyn’s work, noting that concealed carry reciprocity is already a reality in at least 22 states. Moreover, that only 10 states (and the District of Columbia) take the draconian position of forcing law-abiding citizens to surrender their rights when traveling through those jurisdictions.

"The current patchwork of state and local gun laws is confusing and can cause the most conscientious gun owner to unknowingly run afoul of the law when they are traveling or temporarily living away from home," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA-ILA in a statement. "Sen. Cornyn’s legislation provides a much-needed solution to a real problem for law-abiding gun owners."

"Law-abiding citizens should be able to exercise their fundamental right to self-defense while traveling across state lines," continued Cox. "We thank Sen. Cornyn for his leadership on this important issue."

#1 Once again...
Now that the GOP needs our support for the next election they are again claiming they will do the things they promised the last few times they got elected and were in power.. the things promised but they never did once getting elected.

So I'll asked the obvious question.
  • Why weren't all the things we were promised in 2008-2010-2014-2016-2018 passed or at least voted on by congress?

  • What about 2016-2018 when the RINO's had control of all 3 branches of the Fed gov.? What happened to the Wall funding that was approved under Clinton, Bush, Obama?


  • We are all tired of being played election to election by both parties American vs American. Either put up or shut the hell up and fade away.

    The Tea Party and the Reform Party were the RINO's and DINO's wake up calls. The next time we the voters boil over we'll just may end up having a permanent 3 party system. Capitalists Party, Socialists Party and The Pro-America Party

    If the baksheesh supporting the 'Areas of Overlapping Interest' is sufficient, anything can be accomplished in Washington.

    #3 They promise to ïntroduce things. To actually pass things is a totally different thing.

    #4 This may assist the understanding and further validate the commonly held belief that 'they're essentially all the fok'n same.'

    Political ideom 'Uniparty.'
    The "Uniparty" is a term that describes the globalist establishment's control over politics and policy to the extent that every or nearly every major political party or politician are controlled by them and, thus, have far more in common than different, policy-wise.
