Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced a national “constitutional carry” bill.

The National Constitutional Carry Act (HR 9534) would remove permitting requirements for Americans to carry firearms nationwide. Most US states do not have permitting requirements to carry a gun. The bill will also remove the states’ and territories’ ability to prevent Americans who are not a prohibited person from carrying guns in public. Any regulations passed by the states to restrict one’s ability to carry a firearm would not have the force of law. Rep. Massie believes that an American shouldn’t have to seek a permission slip from the government to exercise an inalienable right.​

The bill has a tough fight in Congress. Right now, there is no companion bill in the Senate. Usually, for a bill to have a chance, there will be a companion bill in the other chamber of Congress. Republicans currently have control of the House of Representatives but are in the minority in the Senate. This minority status could mean the bill will most likely be tabled if it reaches the Senate. Even if it does get to the floor of the Senate for a vote, it is improbable it will pass because a supermajority is needed because of the filibuster.

Propose a bill that has no chance of passing in an election year to look like you're "doing something".....

....are you sure the reporter didn't misspell "Cornyn"?

Eastern commie state senators like those from MD, NJ, NY, etc., would never-ever vote for it anyway. MD has never, AFAIK, honored any other state's concealed carry permit, either.

Sounds like it violates the 10th amendment.

What should have happened was SCOTUS ruling permits unconstitutional, but best we got was shall issue.

Something similar was introduced in the early days of the last Trump Administration when Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress.

Unsurprisingly, it went nowhere.

Exactly.

Session ends in 3 months, plus elections in less than 2 months.

What should have happened is SCOTUS should have made it completely clear to our corrupt politicians across our entire republic that all arms control violates the Constitution.

It's insane that we need pro-2A bills to pass in order to exercise our 2A rights. 2A is the supreme law.

That's because too many citizens have allowed the government to infringe and the Supreme Court Ignores it

Would be better off putting that effort in to small steps that have a snowballs chance in hell of getting passed.
