Sen. Cornyn, Senate GOP Introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill

A group of Senate Republicans, led by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), have introduced a bill that would allow individuals with concealed carry privileges in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state with concealed carry laws.
“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,” Cornyn said in a statement. “I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance this important legislation for law-abiding gun owners nationwide.”
Says the man who, along with Lindsey Graham and Rubio is pushing federal red flag laws. No thanks Senator quisling. I’ll do without your bill.
Besides, if you really cared, you’d make it applicable to more than just “any other state with concealed carry laws.” And I have no desire to get on any federal list of persons with permits.
This is pandering to idiots. Don’t be one. Just say no to this bill.

Y’know, when it was NOT doomed to failure by a majority party openly opposed to expanding gun rights. (In contrast to Republi-quislings, who also oppose gun rights but try to do so quietly.)
It’s Obamacare repeal all over again. 37 bills to repeal the ACA when Dems were in power to vote them down or veto. But when the GOP took over and it might actually happen? No bills. Not one.
We’re wise to the tactic now, Senator Cornyn. You don’t support or defend the God-given rights of Americans. If you did, you would have filed this bill two years ago. But you didn’t.

Haven’t we heard this song before? In 2017 there was the “Second Amendment Guarantee Act” (http://dispatchesfromheck.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-second-amendment-guarantee-act.html) and in 2012 there was H.R.822 (http://dispatchesfromheck.blogspot.com/2012/01/enemy-action.html), both of which were loaded with poison pills.
Aren’t we all soooo glad that we have Republicans to protect our gun rights?

Some one did early in Trumps term. Paul Ryan stopped it. Tabled it. Now he’s running FOX News.

@Brad: Right! That one slipped my mind!
Establishment Republicans. With “friends” like these, who needs enemies?
