Hillary Clinton’s butt, which will NEVER, EVER stink up the Oval Office again, and already looked like a sack of used monkey testicles, is in really bad shape this week..
I must admit the editorial was well written; it touched on every (imaginary) butt-hurt aspect of national reciprocity with an unusual degree of hysteria.
You will know how serious Trump/GOP is about keeping their word on reciprocity by how they propose the law: if serious, they will attach reciprocity to something like an infrastructure bill that Dems will not filibuster.
If the GOP puts up a STANDALONE bill, then they are just Lucy playing us like Charlie trying to reach that football over and over again.
The GOP has used gun issues – reciprocity key among them – to get single-issue voters to come out for them time and time again. It’s the goose that lays the golden-vote egg. The GOPe worry that actually making good on promises will “kill” their golden vote-enabling goose. Also, I think a lot of establishment elites really don’t want we deplorables to defend ourselves in public.
Again, any standalone bill will get the filibuster and will not pass. If you see the GOP make noise but not law, you are getting played. Again. When you push for this, push to make reciprocity an amendment on something the Dems like, which is usually money.
For the lulz, I’d attach it to the EPA funding bill.
I think a MAXIMUM TROLLING version of the bill would essentially say that a state, by the laws passed by their population, can determine when a person is qualified to carry concealed, and that decision must be given full faith and credit by every other state. Furthermore, a state, by the laws passed by their population, can also determine what weapons that population is capable of handling safely, so the firearm laws of a person’s home state go with them everywhere in the US. Also, any state has the right to be more permissive on non-residents than their home state. Full federalism, right there.
I’m not saying that’s ideal, but it would be a great troll to open carry an integrally suppressed 9mm with 18 round magazine in Los Angeles and the cops go “Whelp, checked his ID, and he’s from AZ, nothing we can do about it.”
“… overriding state law allowing gun permits only to those with the temperament and need for a firearm.”
Or the political and monetary pull to get a politician (D) to issue one.

OMG! Blood in the Streets! Absolute Carnage! Wild West Shootouts!
That is what they promised in MN, and IA, and WI, and even IL. Somehow none of that ever happened. But NYC is different?
