Yes, that horse left the barn long ago and the anti-gun forces have ridden it by themselves for far too long. We can take back the federal law requiring national reciprocity when we take back the NFA, national background checks, and lord knows how many non-firearm laws and regulations. Until then, make use of them.Charles L. Cotton wrote:I understand the desire to keep the feds out of guns laws, but we are many decades too late. National reciprocity won't open any doors for further federal control over states. We know how to protect the bill.

The best way to get a bad law or bad policy reversed is to enforce it equally and vigorously. Notice how the Dems suddenly started babbling about federalism and local control when the Heller got decided. The fastest way to reduce the federal government's reach into everything, short of electing Ted Cruz as president and electing Tea Party supermajorities in both houses, is to turn federal power against Democratic hobby horses. Refusing to do so and claiming it as "prinicipal" is not noble, it's suicide at this stage of the game.
