Feinstein signals attempt to filibuster National Right to Carry legislation

[tankarian]

..Feinstein wrote, "These dangerous bills ... would undermine states' rights by forcing nearly every state to accept the concealed carry permits issued by other states, even if the permit holder could not qualify for a permit in the state to which he is traveling."

Oh, so it's all about the states' rights now...
Not so many states' rights when she was the champion of Obamacare.

I hope she does this and every news outlet covers it BIG TIME. Guns are a third rail nationally and anyone who joins her in the filibuster will pay a huge price. I know it's hard to believe living in CA but there are NOT 40 seats in the senate that will join her and outside of NY, NJ, CA, IL, and HI it is political suicide. So, please senator spend as much political capital as you have on this endeavor and bring down any anti-gun politician willing to stand with you, we are better off without them in the Senate.

Really difi? Is it possible that "the state to which he is traveling" is having to be sued to acknowledge a civil right guaranteed by COTUS?

nahhhh, couldnt be

[glockman19]

Hmmmm...wonder if that same logic holds for drivers licenses?

"would undermine states' rights by forcing nearly every state to accept the concealed carry permits drivers licenses issued by other states, even if the permit holder Driver could not qualify for a permit drivers licenses in the state to which he is traveling."

Her logic sucks.

Hmmmm...wonder if that same logic holds for drivers licenses?

"would undermine states' rights by forcing nearly every state to accept the concealed carry permits drivers licenses issued by other states, even if the permit holder Driver could not qualify for a permit drivers licenses in the state to which he is traveling."

Her logic sucks.

Or marriage certificates.

[glockman19]

Or marriage certificates.

You don't need to qualify for a marriage certificate.

[glockman19]

More FUD...

...""Imagine that a man who has been convicted of a domestic violence crime against a woman he had been dating seeks — and obtains — a permit to carry a concealed firearm from his state of residence," she wrote. "Under the concealed carry reciprocity bills, he could legally travel across state lines and confront his former girlfriend ..."

IMPOSSIBLE...Found Guilty of Domestic Violence makes him prohibited...NO CWP.

Again...Her argument misrepresents the way the law works.

[dbo31]

Couldn't this same thing be applied to ANY federal law? Essentially ANY federal law is being imposed by the federal government which might infringe on a state? Some shaky logic she has there

[dantodd]

You don't need to qualify for a marriage certificate.

Of course you do. Try to get one for two men or two women. You won't qualify in most states.

You don't get it -- it's not political suicide for her, because she is placed in office by the retards of the state of California. Remember the state we live in? Stupid people by the millions? Moronic gun laws? Yeah, that one.

Like it or not, she is a good representative in this area, because the majority of this state are morons like her, and don't believe in 2A rights. She represents them well and faithfully in this area, so they re-elect her.

It's the exact opposite of political suicide.

Or for brother and sister(some southern states excluded)

Perhaps you disagree, but this is the type of behavior that the folks who elected her really love. I have longed for her losing an election, but the nutcases here keep putting her back in.

All she cares about is getting reelected, and this won't make her reelection less likely. Rather, it is more likely to help her stay in office.

Using logic to describe the thinking process of a Progressive is an oxymoron at best....

The difference is that driving is a privilege, whereas RKBA is a right enumerated in the Constitution.

The difference with Marriage Licenses is that not all states honor each others' licenses, especially when it comes to same-sex couples.

Speedrracer is correct. Feinstein is playing to the electorate that put her into office. As long as she keeps giving them what they want, and spouting the party line, the donations will continue to roll in. She's a dyed-in-the-wool San Francisco Liberal, and nothing's going to change anytime soon.

[Untamed1972]

So lemme get this straight DiFi:

It's a violation of state's rights for the federal gov't to enforce against the states a specifically constitutionally enumerated and incorporated individual right.......but it's not a state's rights issue for the federal gov't to force obamacare on the nation for which there is no constitutional authority?

Whatever!
