The fundamental threat to the 2A is the Federal government, not the state governments (taken collectively). Most states have done a wonderful job as stewards of the right to bear arms.How are LTCs different than Drivers Licenses? I see this as an implementation of the "full faith and credit" clause. I don't think it is a states' rights issue, inasmuch that the federal government is not creating it's own LTC and forcing the states to accept it.The Annoyed Man wrote:I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other, but I can see a possible pro-gun argument for not supporting the bill........and that would be that federal involvement in firearms law is already too prevalent, and we either believe in states' rights, or we don't. In that light, isn't it possible that Rep. Burgess has a principled reason for not having cosponsored it? I don't know anything about the guy. How has he been on the 2nd Amanemdnet otherwise?
