"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Restrictive laws such as those enforced in London, Ottawa, and Sidney.
PLEASE DO NOT INFER MORE THAN I IMPLY !!
I'm not ADVOCATING this. YOU asked the question. I answered it.
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

This is indeed good news. If it becomes law I won’t have to try to become a lawyer reading up on CC laws in the various states to/through which I travel. I like it.

The states must allow a citizen of another state without a permit or legal permission to carry a gun into their state. States should be allowed to set such policies within their state unless you favor an oppressive federal government that can override each state like they did with abortion and same sex marriage.
I deduce your comment quoted above addresses the topic: "House Passes Concealed Carry Reciprocity""Full faith-and-credit means a state should recognize court decisions and records such as marriage licenses. It does not mean NewYork must follow New Jersey laws for a New Jersey resident in NY." F #49
The problem is, there's no "... by the federal government" qualifier to 2A's "... shall not be infringed." wording.
If a citizen has a NATIONAL right to "keep and bear arms", that NATIONAL right can't end at any inter-State border within the nation.
Even if you are right about "full faith-&-credit" (in which section of the Constitution does that term appear?), "shall not be infringed" is clearly the more immediate standard.
If she can pack heat in Albany, why not also in Trenton?
PS
What bearing if any the commerce clause has here I don't know.
BUT !!
Wickard v. Filburn blue any rational restraint a weigh from what sensible persons would think of as commerce. Subsistence farming is not commerce! SCOTUS obviously disagrees.

If a person has a right to carry guns in any state without a permit that means the states also cannot infringe on that right as of 2010. This reciprocity law recognizes the right of the states to regulate carry and your support of this law acknowledges that right which you claim does not exist.
If you believe in the rule of law no court has ever upheld the view that there can be no infringements on gun ownership; if so, that means they cannot infringe on felons, automatic weapons, or anything else.
Both liberal and conservatives seem willing to abandon any principles if they like the outcome.
a) Quote me!"that right which you claim does not exist." F #54
b) After you clearly demonstrate that you won't, because you can't, because I didn't, we can get around to discussing the position I HAVE taken, instead of the freakish hallucination you falsely attribute to me.
F adds:
I think law professor, lawyer, and former head of the ACLU Nadine Strossen said it more explicitly, & comprehensively. I've quoted her countless times."If you believe in the rule of law no court has ever upheld the view that there can be no infringements on gun ownership;" F
F adds:"No right is absolute. Conversely, no government authority is absolute." lawyer, law Professor and former ACLU head Nadine Strossen
It is the Republican party that is so boldly, so vividly hypocritical in that regard."Both liberal and conservatives seem willing to abandon any principles if they like the outcome." F
U.S. President GWB when Governor (R-TX) presided over more State executions than any other Texas governor before him. YET !! GWB claims to be "pro-life".
Republicans presume to be, declare themselves to be: the party of family values.
Yet not only have they elected the kitty-cat grabber in chief, Donald Trump.
They're also threatening to elect serial pedophile Judge Roy Moore to the U.S. congress.
" Family Values " ?!?!
Probably not."Both liberal and conservatives seem willing to abandon any principles if they like the outcome." F #54
You seem to be referring to Democrats and Republicans. Those are political PARTIES.
"liberal" & "conservative" are principles, not parties. It's an absurdity for you to assert that persons of principle abandon principle. Persons that abandon principle are not persons of principle. Got it?

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
