Odds of passage are pretty low, IMO; but we do have some new blood in Congress. I will contact my reps and encourage them to support this legislation.

I still don't like having the feds involved with stuff like this. I'd like "National Leave Us The Heck Alone" much better.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Well, either they get involved or it won't happen. Yer choice.

Yeah, I know. But aren't they supposed to leave all of that stuff for the states to decide?

Well, when states restrict a constitutional right, sometimes the feds step in....

If it passes the house and make it through the senate good luck on that jackass in the whitehouse signing it.

 

[Mikewood]

Yea, the Feds enforcing the second amendment as written is silly.
We already have "constitutional carry" at the federal level and it does us no good.
Sorry but I don't want to screw up my CHL and they will find a way to do it if we give them the power to.

Please, don't insult jackasses. They work hard and are loyal.

I'm 50/50 on this bill. If done right it is a good thing. And yes the feds will occasionally get it right and stand up to the states for our rights, but too often it's the opposite.

The first thing that came to mind is

Thomas Jefferson

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases."​

This will eventually give the Feds the power over CHLs we state's rights folks have been dreading. When the Feds start overseeing CHLs I doubt it will be a victory for us.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Take the tinfoil hat off, dude....

 

[just jk]

this failed the last time it came up - will be interesting to see what a new congress does with it - i dont think it failed by much the last time

You don't think this falls under the Feds control of interstate commerce? This is one I'm sure a lot of anti-gun folks have been wanting to happen because the Feds aren't going to care much for issuing CHLs once they've removed that power from the states.

I suppose that they mean well but like another post remarked, Do they think it will get by the "pootus" who lounges in the Oval Office ?

It might if it allowed Eric Holder to set "minimum standards for licensing". Of course, we know how that would turn out. To get a license, one would need to be very wealthy to afford the fees and a big contributor to the DNC and O's 2012 election campaign.

Well if Obama signs it we will know the agenda.

This is exactly what I am getting at.

No. Your marriage license and driver's license have to be recognized by all other states no matter what state it was issued in.

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

The Feds have no place messing with rights that belong to the States. When you condone their intervention only when its in your favor then you open up a can of hypocritical worms. Such inconsistencies got a lot of old RINOs voted out of office.

I don't feel the Feds have the authority to pass such laws, even if they benefit me.
