Amarillo? You mean Texas's north pole?All this is moot. Odds of getting 60 votes in the Senate is a snowball's chance in Amarillo in August.
And we are one step closer to national registry with national reciprocity. Just wait for the National ID cards clause to get added at some point.
I'm curious to see if and what the concealed carry insurance folks change in their policies or premiums in case they get stuck with a case that goes to the supreme court.
I had a hard time listening after they said "what is there to prevent an anti-gun state from making it illegal to carry a gun within 20ft of a road?"
That's FUD, pure and simple- a law like that isn't going to be constitutional. (admittedly CA creates illegal laws all the time).
I understand the fear the Feds will overstep, but these guys are looking for the bogie man everywhere.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you, but I get the feeling these guys would be afraid to pass something that repeals the Hughes act.
Maybe it's just that their exaggeration rubbed me the wrong way, it's a tool of FUD... Say something so far out there and pretend it's what you're going to get if you don't do what I advise. Not a logical debate, it's a way to manipulate.The Constitution has not done much to dissuade most states in the 9th circus from passing unconstitutional gun laws. Most politicians in those areas don't think you should be able to carry a gun at all. Have you ever heard of regular citizens getting carry licenses in California or New York City? You note that CA makes illegal "laws" all the time, so how the hell is LSGR viewpoint illogical?
The second half of that quote is "doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you"... so you're agreeing with me.. I'm kinda of two minds on the subject. I just don't agree with their tactics."Just because you're paranoid": people have concerns. The Fed has proven time and time again to not favor gun rights (1934, 1968, 1986, 1994 should ring bells). So excuse people here who enjoy Texas' somewhat decent carry rights/privileges (shall issue, no limits on magazines, OC and CC) who might want to ensure that adding the Federal gov't to our carry rights won't further restrict our rights in the future.
I am divided on this, and I don't trust that powers given to the Feds won't be misused in the future...It doesn't change the fact that you use it to avoid addressing the reasonable concerns.
Its perfectly reasonable to fear what might happen to Carry licensing once the Feds are involved.
I am divided on this, and I don't trust that powers given to the Feds won't be misused in the future...
But that doesn't mean I enjoy when somebody tries to convince me using manipulation (and FUD is used to manipulate)... it breeds mistrust with those trying to manipulate. Perhaps it feels too much like what the left does.
I didn't say they were all wrong, I said I couldn't listen anymore.
oldag, you’re talking about the reciprocity bill, correct? What about the “Fix NICS” bill... think it’ll pass?
