Gun Control Groups
to ‘Spend What It Takes’ to Defeat National Reciprocity
by AWR Hawkins 26 Apr 2017
Micheal Bloomberg-funded Everytown
for Gun Safety and Gabby Giffords’ Americans
for Responsible Solutions (ARS) are vowing to “spend what it takes”
to defeat the national reciprocity legislation currently being considered by
Congress.
The legislation–put forth in the House by Representative
Richard Hudson (R-NC-8)–would treat concealed carry permits like a driver’s
license, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. This would free
law-abiding citizens from the burdensome patchwork of concealed carry laws that
presently result in carry permits being valid in some states, but not in
others.
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has put forward companion
legislation in the Senate.
According to The
Guardian, Everytown and ARS vow to do their utmost to defeat an
expanded recognition of the carry permits of law-abiding citizens. Both groups
argue that national recognition of concealed carry permits would be unsafe
because of the different training standards for permits in each state.
This complaint is actually a not-so-veiled admission that
national reciprocity would force gun control states
like California,
Illinois, New Jersey, and New York, to allow the exercise of Second Amendment
rights by concealed carry permit holders from other states.
For example, California currently refuses to recognize
the concealed carry permit from the other 49 states and places so many
limitations on its own residents that fewer than 80,000 in-state permit holders
exist. This scenario will be done away once national reciprocity forces
recognition of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Peter Ambler is the executive director of Giffords’ gun
control group and he suggests national reciprocity has only gained momentum because
people are uneducated. He said, “We’ve got an education deficit both on the
Hill and around town among members of Congress, senators, staff, members of the
media.”
On April 10, 2017, Breitbart News reported
that Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety pledged $25 million to defeat
national reciprocity.

“Gov. Jerry Brown today signed a Draconian gun control package that
turns California’s law-abiding gun owners into second-class citizens,” said Amy Hunter, California spokesperson for the
group. “The governor and legislature exploited a terrorist attack to push these
measures through even though the state’s already restrictive laws did nothing
to stop the attack in San Bernadino.”
