2017 Legislative 2A Wish List

What type of legislative action to protect 2A rights would you like to see in 2017?

My list:
1. National Conceal Carry Reciprocity.
-If you pass a background check, complete a certain level of training, and are able to demonstrate competence with a firearm to obtain a license you shouldn't have to worry about which State you are traveling to (including CA).
2. Reduction in gun free zones
-In my opinion this should only exist in police stations and court houses, and they should provide a method where you can place your firearm in a locker inside the entrance, so you don't have to leave it at risk in your vehicle.
 
One CCW for nation wide carry and nation wide open carry.

No restrictions on military surplus imports

No bans on weapon types; AR15, High capacity magazines, etc.

Nationwide stand your ground
 
As long as we're wishing...


Federal preemption -- No state or territory, or lower level entity, can have firearm laws or regulations more restrictive than those at the Federal level.

Repeal the Hughes Amendment.
 
Removal of suppressors from the NFA.

I actually give this better odds of actual passage than anything listed so far. It could be done quietly. Pun intended. ;)
 
Some states don't require a training regimen for a CCW, it's not really necessary beyond a short computer exam about legal deadly force.
 
I'll play.

1. The Interstate Compact on the Concealed Carry of Firearms (a state-level package of model CC laws).
2. Removal of suppressors from the NFA.
 
1- One CCW for nation wide carry and nation wide open carry.

2- No restrictions on military surplus imports

3- No bans on weapon types; AR15, High capacity magazines, etc.

4- Nationwide stand your ground

I numbered the above quote
My thought no to number one. You have just removed state sovereignty. telling them what there law will be.
Also no to number 4 again see my above reasoning

But Don, we have this thing called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those DO trump state sovereignty. Except #2, those are all Constitutional issues.

I am opposed to Nationwide CC, but am in favor of Nationwide Reciprocity. Have to think long term. When, and it will happen, the Liberals take over again, if we have a Nationwide CC, they remove it. If states have removed their process in the interim, it is a huge step back.
 
Get rid of state bans on weapons and mag types.

Move SBRs out of the NFA

National reciprocity of CHL/CCW. The issue of standards needs discussion.

Get rid of the Post Office ban.

Some sort of Pre-Emption Federal law based on the 2nd Amendment. Yes!

We already have the Constitution. DOJ should just force through law suits the states to follow the Constitution. Constitution already trumps state law, (so the legal eagles say)

Where does the Constitution say anything about requiring a "short computer exam" (or any other kind of exam) before being allowed to exercise the right to keep and bear arms?

Ok, not a Constitutional Scholar just a lowly manufacturing engineer, but shouldn’t we be careful asking for Federal Preemption over the States as it relates to gun laws. While it might seem nice right now it seems like a Pandora’s Box of potential problems down the road.

Go Trump on common sense 2a reform!

Wishful thinking. I don't see Paul Ryan encouraging the House to be supportive of most of these initiatives. Also, the author is an idiot:

He would also apparently have the authority to end firearm bans on other federal property, but there are so many laws and regulations that I don’t want to make that claim prematurely.

But you just DID make that claim prematurely, Ace, and you're wrong. The prohibition on firearms in Federal facilities is in a law -- the President can't end that with the stroke of a pen. Likewise, the prohibition against firearms on Postal Service property is also in a law (a different law). The President can't make that one go away with a stroke of the pen, either.

For Trump to be effective, Ryan and McConnell have to go.
 
BarryLee, yes and no. There are obviously certain areas where the states have the final say. I think marriage and employment law are two of them, but the Feds do not.

If based on Civil Liberties, Constitutional Rights, then I really do not think there is an issue. The Constitution says I can own firearms, many states infringe on those laws. So, either by policy, SCOTUS Decision, how do you force the States to stop violating Constitutional protections? There has to be a way other than just letting the courts decide as they get to lawsuits.
 
SCOTUS justices who are textualists or originalists would be nice.

Hearing Protection Act

Nationwide CCW reciprocity.
 
I couldn't agree more on taking suppressors out of the NFA. These should be as easy to buy as magazines. Hopefully the Hearing Protection Act gets a vote.

Here in PA there are no training requirements at all. Fill out the one page form, pass the PICS/NICS. Pay the sheriff $20. Open carry without one except in a car or in Philly.
 
Conduct a thorough, exhaustive study on the effectiveness of the NICS background check system. When (not if) the study shows the system to be useless and needlessly burdensome, abolish it.

Universal background check schemes will pass by the wayside and the graboids will have to come up with a new approach.
