House passes concealed carry gun bill

[kain]

The House passed legislation to permit concealed carry license holders to conceal a handgun in other states, the first time Congress has taken action on a gun bill since President Donald Trump was sworn into office.

The "Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act," a top priority for the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights groups, passed 231-198. Six House Democrats crossed the aisle and voted for the measure, while 14 Republicans opposed it.


Senate Democrats are strongly opposed to the bill, arguing it would override individual states' efforts to control who can carry concealed weapons inside their borders and create what is in essence a national gun license.

Also included in House GOP gun package is a proposal to improve the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the national system of criminal background checks managed by the FBI. Calls for an NICS revamp grew louder after the recent mass shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, which left 26 churchgoers dead. After the shooting, the Air Force revealed it had failed to report the gunman’s 2012 conviction on domestic violence to the database, which would have barred him from making a lawful gun purchase.

Every black person who can should get a license and carry.

Reach for your pockets slow as a glacier. I can easily see this being used as even more of an excuse to gun down Black men.

Some will try and use the law to be slick and getting locked up.

Let's not be stupid and start a go fund me so that some dangerous idiot will stay out of jail.

You don't need to be anywhere you need to carry a pistol. Laws don't protect black males the same.

You gotta read homie.

Nadler added: "It uses the power of the federal government to import the law in the one state into another state so that New York would have to allow concealed-carry permits approved in Texas, even if Texas has no standards whatsoever."
