Good.  Now we need the Hearing Protection Act to be reintroduced.

I'm good with the Hearing Protection Act's goal to remove silencers from the NFA. Heck if we want to really do good why not just repeal the gawd awful NFA? Imagine that--advancing gun rights by dismanting federal precedents, not creating them like a national CCW law would

Anyone else picture all the heads on the left collectively pulling a "Exorcist"?

[CP]

I just sent Rick Larsen an email reminding him to support the Hearing Protection Act.   I expect I'll get another form response spouting the need for "common sense gun control"

You are conflating reciprocity with a national CCW permit again, almost as if on purpose.

The two are not the same.

One reiterates and reinforces constitutionally protected individual rights as preeminent over states' police powers.  The other federalizes the issuance of a CCW permit, with all the firearm owner databases and federal power that that entails, and which IS a battle over states' rights versus federal powers.

I like this version . . .

Better than the prior version . . .

because it provides a private right of action - as it should for state infringement of individual liberties - as teeth to prevent overzealous states from abusing interstate travelers under this provision. 


Well done, Representative Hudson.

[Fl0und3rz]

In support of reciprocity.
