Bearing Arms: Interstate Reciprocity
National reciprocity legislation has been sitting in Congress since January 3, 2017, and we have heard of a growing roster of co-sponsors [at least 200 to date] but little else. Suddenly, following the June 14 attack in Alexandria, numerous Republican Congressional members were consumed with national reciprocity.
But the problem is that many House members now focused on national reciprocity are consumed with special carry privileges for Congress; carry privileges the common man will never enjoy.
An elitist jolt may be what is needed to overcome Congressional inertia, but there is no way to mix rights and privilege in a resolution to the problem! The time has come to admit that our national patchwork system of laws, in their present form, constitutes an infringement on a civil right enumerated by our Constitution — and to do something about it.
