We are facing a barrage of anti gun proposals in congress. Please keep up to date and call, write and email your representatives and senators.
Following the Oklahoma City bombing there was no cry for anti truck legislation, not even HIGH CAPACITY trucks like used in that bombing. No cry to severely restrict the right if LAW ABIDING citizens use of fertilizer or diesel fuel either.
Following the Boston marathon, there was no cry to ban pressure cookers. Now pressure cookers are proliferating looking more ominous than ever and are "FAST CYCLING" with the advent of the induction pressure cookers. There is no cry to ban their use by LAW ABIDING cooks.
Following decades of large numbers of deaths at the hands of drunk drivers, there is still no cry to ban cars used by LAW ABIDING drivers..
In NONE of those situations have restriction been burdened on the law abiding citizen. Instead we put blame squarely on the shoulders of those that committed such heinous crimes. Every time there is a mass shooting, they want to impose all kinds of restrictions on law abiding gun owners. Please explain the very different logic to me because I do not understand it.

The National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill was combined in the House with the "FIX NICS" bill and was passed in the House. The Senate is taking the reciprocity bill up as a stand alone bill and strong opposition is expected. If it passes in the Senate, they will need to hammer out the differences with the House. The reciprocity bill is consider by all of the major gun groups as a positive thing. On the other hand, most gun groups see the "FIX NICS" legislation as being too far reaching and having a negative effect on law abiding citizens. Stay informed. As I often say in class, my Grandfather often said "nobody is safe when congress is in session."

U.S. Representative Richard Hudson introduced a National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill (H.R. 38) which would make your permit from your home state valid in all states, much like your driver's license. This has bee introduced in previous sessions of congress but Washington D.C. has a different make up now.
I like this proposal much more that a national permit. A national permit system could be too easy to wipe our, by executive order for example.

The Supreme Court of the United States in Salinas v. Texas says your silence can be used against you if you do not expressly invoke your 5th Amendment privilege to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. You need to invoke the 5th early and often when questioned by police. "I need to speak to my attorney before questioning and I do not consent to any search" !!! :
Salinas v. Texas
| Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12-246 | Tex. Crim. App. |
Apr 17, 2013 Tr.Aud. |
Jun 17, 2013 | 5-4 | Alito | OT 2012 |
Holding: When petitioner had not yet been placed in custody or received Miranda warnings, and voluntarily responded to some questions by police about a murder, the prosecution’s use of his silence in response to another question as evidence of his guilty at trial did not violate the Fifth Amendment because petitioner failed to expressly invoke his privilege not to incriminate himself in response to the officer’s question.
Judgment: Affirmed, 5-4, in an opinion by Justice Alito on June 17, 2013. Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Scalia, concurred only in the judgment. Justice Breyer filed a dissenting opinion joined by Justice Ginsburg, Justice Sotomayor, and Justice Kagan.
