This Will Be A Disaster!

Do you remember that last week Trump is thinking about taking away our guns because we're trans. Now the gun rights nuts are at it again, they want to be able to get gun permits in other states with easy permits laws, get a gun and go back to states where they don't qualify for a gun permit.

New Hampshire aims to take gun law dispute with Massachusetts to Supreme Court

New Hampshire and 24 other states want to take Massachusetts to the U.S. Supreme Court in a dispute over gun laws.

Earlier this year, the highest court in Massachusetts ruled that firearm restrictions in Massachusetts apply to visitors from New Hampshire and other states. The court considered two cases involving New Hampshire residents who were charged with unlawfully carrying guns in Massachusetts, even though they got those guns legally in their home state.

"The Second Amendment does not end at the Massachusetts border," New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said in a statement Thursday.

New Hampshire vs. Massachusetts

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts said in its ruling that "the Second Amendment right to bear arms is not absolute," and the state is not prohibited from "requiring firearm licenses for persons within its borders."

Yeah... in the past the Supreme Court has ruled that you have to obey the laws in each state you go though. So what that means if you have a large capacity magazine and you come to Connecticut where they are banned, you are screwed. What these right-wing gun nuts want is what is often referred to as "national reciprocity" for gun permits. As you can imagine the Firearm Industrial Trade Association is all for this...

NSSF Welcomes Rep. Richard Hudson’s Concealed Carry Reciprocity Legislation

H.R. 38 Would End Patchwork of Confusing Gun Laws for CC Permit Holders

WASHINGTON, D.C.. — The NSSF®, The Firearm Industry’s Trade Association, wholeheartedly welcomes U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson’s (R-N.C.) introduction of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025, H.R. 38. The legislation was introduced with 113 co-sponsors, demonstrating the wide-ranging support for protecting law-abiding concealed carry permit holders from navigating a patchwork of varying gun control laws when crossing a state line.

The bill aims to eliminate the confusion of varying state-by-state laws and provide protection for Second Amendment rights for permit holders. The legislation would allow handgun owners who are legally permitted and authorized by their home state to carry a concealed firearm to lawfully carry in other states provided they comply with the law in other states – much in the same way a driver’s license is recognized.

A person who would not qualify for a gun permit in their home state could go to a state that doesn't have a residency requirement or background checks for private sales. They then could buy guns in there home state.

The problem is 29 states have virtually no rules for gun permits while 21 states have strict requirements for gun carry. Most states you have to be 21 to carry a gun, but in some you can be as young as 18 for a permit. Some states require background checks, while some don't require background checks.

Does that sound like a recipe trouble? Here is the thing, almost half of the states are behind this! Concealed Carry wrote:

A coalition of 24 state attorneys general have signed a letter urging Congress to pass H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. The letter, dated May 21, 2025, addresses key concerns voiced by critics of national reciprocity and offers a detailed defense of the legislation.

Many law enforcement organizations are clearly opposed to H.R. 38, but as usual the Republican will bow to the gun lobby and kiss their feet.

There have many Supreme Court cases that support state rights to regulate guns in their states... this is an end run around the states rights! I'm not a lawyer but I have to wonder about Connecticut's Red Flag Law, the laws limiting the size of the magazine or the ban on automatic weapons if those could be circumvented by national reciprocity?

As the website Everytown for Gun Safety wrote:

“Concealed carry reciprocity” is a reckless proposal that would undermine state gun laws and allow people with dangerous histories and no training to carry hidden, loaded guns across the country. “Concealed carry reciprocity” wouldn’t create a national standard for who can carry a concealed handgun in public. Instead, it would force each state to accept the concealed carry standards of every other state, even states that have weaker standards, or worse, no standards at all. H.R. 38 would make it difficult or impossible for law enforcement to verify whether a person from another state is legally carrying a concealed gun in public. It would even allow individual law enforcement officers to be sued for attempting to verify that a person is carrying legally.

Yep.
