I am a fan of state's rights, but the second amendment's "shall not be infringed" supercedes any and all state laws in this context. The tenth amendment doesn't apply to rights that are enumerated in the Constitution.
Pass it, please.
The state known for the strictest gun laws is California.
In California, all firearms sales, transfers, including private transactions and sales at gun shows, must go through a California licensed firearms dealer.
California also has no provision in its state constitution that explicitly guarantees an individual the right to keep and bear arms.

Steve Kroft: Representative Hudson, there's huge opposition to this bill, among police departments in major cities in the United States-
Cyrus Vance: The goal is, of the gun lobby, to have what they call Constitutional Carry, which means that you-- anyone can have a gun, anywhere, anytime. Because the Constitution, and the Second Amendment, in their view, says that. And so the world that they imagine is one where everyone can have a gun. That's not the world that I think I wanna live in. But that's the world that I think they're tryin' to create.
The residents of California and New York want to live under their laws that is why they have them. Those people are not like us. They are herd people, they like living close they belive in safty in numbers you know like wilda beast in Africa, the lions only get the slow and sick. Call 911 and the law will be there in and instant to protect you. I don't believe in going where I am not wanted. They don't want me there with my guns, I just want go. I will spend my money somewhere else.
The point is that they are still part of the United States, and should be under the same Bill of Rights as the rest of the country. What happens when you have to go through one of those states to get to another state that isn't like that? For example, if you wanted to go to Maine hunting or fishing, you have to go through that commie bloc of NY, MA, and CT.
I have mixed feelings about this bill.
while I agree that my permit should be valid in all 50 states (and even moreso that nobody should require a permit at all), the feds dipping their toes into this pool could go sideways very quickly.
