Is there a way to get it through committee? Committees have been a stall trick used for far too long. The committees don't have my Congress people so I don't have any clout writing someone else's Congress reps.
Keep your chins up my fellow law abiding concealed carry comrades!S.845 was barely defeated by 2 lousy votes! If the traitors (Lugar,Voinovich) would have voted with their party,we wouldn't even be here posting.NJ would have to kiss my butt.But, there are several more bills (197,1262,371)that just might make history if those two get their head out from between their legs. Angry in NJ
Why is this a issue about undermining state rights. The second ammendment takes it out of the hands of the states. The state and the people have a say in anything not covered in the constitution or the bill of rights.( 10nth ammendment)
This has nothing to do with a drivers license. The license to drive is
a privelage which is a far cry from a consitutional right.
Well, first and foremost, any way the Federal government can take something like this OUT of the hands of the people, and their respectives states, then the Federal government can always over rule any decision than any state judge makes in court if it ever comes to that. Since the Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President, and voted on by each representative panel after inquisition, then the Supreme Courts rulings would be final. It's simply to sway the tide more to their favor no matter what their political affiliation party. And yes, Drivers license are a priveledge, but so are licenses to carry a concealed weapon. Not everyone who can legally go buy a gun, can get a CWP! So it's a priveldege as well. : )
this should apply to marriage as well. why are people so charged for gun rights but not freedom and equality? Oh, no money in it for weapons makers. sorry
constitutional amendments allow us to have weapons and the states to regulate them. why is this bill needed?????
Now, this is really GOOD!!! If Congress passes this that will mena that they are Still "By the People, For the People", what a consept!
With the passage of HB 1388 this will be needed for safety!
I wonder why we were not alerted about HB 1388-this gives "HAMAS" the right to come into this country and live here!
The only thing I can find on HB 1388 is the Edward Kennedy Service act. Also I am unable to locate the bill that gave Congress an automatic raise every year. Can you help me with these 2 bills?
While supporting this bill...feeling it may be needed due to opposing legislation that has been introduced. I question anything that gives us permission to something we already have a right too, anything that makes legal what is already legal, and anything that makes illegal what is already illegal.
What am I not understanding? Better yet....what are our congressional employee's not understanding? But hey, if it keeps me from having to pull over and put my clip in the trunk inorder to be "law abiding" in every other state I travel through...then carry on!
All of these clowns are corrupt, that is why they don't have a Corruption Elimination Bill, please sign our petition. The right is only mad because the left now has the control of the corruption. All this effort and none on the true problem. The ones speaking up should have done so a LONG time ago!

Nothing can possibly have the possitive effect on homeland security as a large percentage of responsible citizens with CCW permits. Talk about criminals and terrorists shaking in their boots. Let me ask you this...if you knew that 40% of responsible citizens carried with CCW, would you think twice befor mistreating any one of them.
FINALLY a bill that "WE THE PEOPLE" support. This bill makes sense so I bet those lazy fat, thieving, lying, self-centered,morons on capital hill won't vote yes for it. If that &%$#@!*&*^%$ Pelosi and other nimrods have their way they would take all guns away from us and then only the crooks (them) will have guns. I have called my senator and rep several times concerning this bill, so please contact yours and tell them to vote YES
this will simplify state to state gun rights and transfers. but non-citizens of a state include foreigners. only Americans are to have firearm privileges.
