NRA's work on National Permit

[Bohemian]

I haven't been on my soapbox lately, but I just finished reading the article by Chris Cox about the latest Supreme Court ruling. Never missing an opportunity to include a NRA commercial cleverly embedded in an article, he took the opportunity to tell how much the NRA has worked with Congress on getting a National Permit to conceal carry across all State lines. What a crock!!!

That numbskull should know that we don't want that! Anything the Congress can pass as "law", they can reverse. We already have a "law" that gives us that right...the 2nd Amendment. The States have done a pretty good job of reciprocating with each other already. We don't need Congress getting involved with this issue, or it will be screwed up. If the NRA wants to lobby, do it with the States that don't recognize each other. Don't do it with Congress! The NRA wants to try to do it the easy way, without thinking about the ramifications of their actions. Those lazy clowns are stupid, and they DON'T speak for me!

Make sure you contact your representatives and let them know how you feel about Congress not doing anything about National Permits. It's none of their business! That is something the States can, and should, work out among themselves. If anybody should be doing it, it should be the Supreme Court with a ruling that is already there...the CORRECT interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, and specifically the 2nd Amendment.

Here's the thing...

Neither the Constitution or the Bill of Rights or any other of the founding documents grants us the right to keep and bear arms...
Open or Concealed, anywhere, anytime, regardless of type or class of weapon...
How can anybody possibly justify that you have less of a right to defend your life when your outside of your home?
Or that right within the home is limited as well...

The Second Amendment protects and re-affirms a unalienable, preexisting right you were born with...

Without the Unabridged Second Amendment there is no possibility of removing a tyrannical government as the framers clearly delineated...

Can you post a link to this article? I haven't seen it, or the bit about a National permit.

It was an article in the American Rifleman. You can probably go to the NRA website and read it.

NRA-ILA :: Statement by Wayne LaPierre Executive Vice President, NRA and Chris W. Cox Executive Director, NRA-ILA Regarding U.S. Supreme Court Decision <EM>McDonald v. City of Chicago</EM>

I thought McDonald vs Chicago answered the question of a permit . What more do we need? The 2A.that should be enough of a permit. Anything more is superfluous IMO

It took me a while to understand that comment when I read it last night. Funny, this morning when I read it again, I understood perfectly. It's akin to my response in a discussion with folks that don't like the idea of gun carrying. I simply ask them what other Bill of Rights articles do they think shouldn't apply. How about the one against unreasonable search and seizure? After all, if you are THOUGHT to be guilty by the cops, they have every right to come into your home or car and tear it up trying to find the evidence they thought waS THERE. LOL!!

How about the First Amendment? You can be jailed for saying something bad about the President in a written editorial letter to you local newspaper. How would like that? Well, DUFUS,what other Articles do you want me to NOT apply to you,if you are willing to NOT apply the Second Amendment to me? HUH??

That argument usually ends the debate. LOL!! But it really is the way the Anti-gun people operate.

Here's an example of the way the gun people operate: There was an old guy here a few months ago who ran outside and shot a couple Mexicans trying to steal his trailer. True story. That's basically all there is to it. Now he's up on numerous felony charges and the Mexicans (illegals) are running scott free - actually suing his arse.

You want to stereotype? There you go. It goes both ways.

They had a vote on it a couple of months ago, and it narrowly was shot down.

I asked a LEO friend of mine why he carried a 10mm? He said if he wounds them, he gets to pay for their wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Are we talking about a national permit, or national reciprocity?
