FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 852
BILL TITLE: To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a national standard in accordance with which nonresidents of a State may carry concealed firearms in the State

There were a number of rats ready to change their YEAs to NEAs so they wouldn't get the magic 60 votes in order to prevent the passage of the Thune Amendment.

Right idea, wrong justification. Should have stated that concealed carry is part and parcel of the 2nd Amendment, and that the 2nd Amendment is incorporated against the States.

I am disappointed with the republicans who voted for this bill. The 2nd amendment does not specifically call for concealed carry, nor it specifically apply the 2nd amendment to the States.

An argument at best could be made that the Federal Goverment has the right to impose Gun rights on the grounds of arming the militia. But we need to be disarming the northern States not allowing their population to arm themselves. Why not at least allow them to disarm themselves.

When war comes we want them to be disarmed and helpless before southern furrie.

Please God, Please:

LET THIS POISON BILL DIE!

This is a replay of the nationalized truck driver’s license regulations. CDL and all that rot.

If the FedGov is the final arbiter of National Carry, subject to the nefarious Commerce Clause, do you EVEN THINK that 16 tons of number nine coal regulations won’t be attached?

Think LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR! Because NJ, Illinois and California have the most stringent rules, then the Fedgov will impose the most strict rules ON THE WHOLE NATION.

Think this through, please.

To be sure, if this bill flies through the Senate, and BeeHoe signs it, you can damn well believe that you have Royally Effed the Ef up.

Take what you know about the Fedgov and think it through.
