National Reciprocity?

Even on subjects that interest me , I find CSPAN about as interesting as watching paint dry.
By the time some failed lawyer gets done talking around the actual answer I've forgotten what the equally long winded question was.

True!  However, it is the actual process, and it is the actual debate.  There is no need to rely on the talking heads and their translation, and when you do listen to the so called experts tear the info apart you know what was actually said in the process.

I prefer the "talking heads", they can't pronounce most of the big words so they have to use English.

[MikeBjerum]

There is our difference:  I trust the talking heads less than the politicians, so I'd chose to hear the actual info rather than a someone's take on what the info should be.

I"ve been watching the CSPAN debate coverage and the amendments for a while now.
Holding back the vomit wasn't easy and holding back the laughter wasn't possible. How some of these room temperature IQs got elected is mind boggling.
Enlightened debate wasn't exactly on the forefront. VPC 'save the children' BS countered easily by people with working brains like Trey Gowdy from S. Carolina.

I learned that Anton Jackson from In Living Color, changed his name to Hank Johnson and moved to Georgia!

Sheila Lee, Carolyn McCarthy, David Cicilline & John Conyers should be keel-hauled on an aircraft carrier.....the names to be added to that list is nearly endless.

Given her race and gender I need to be very careful about name calling, but how did you like the female type person from Texas with the picture of the child getting a vaccination crying that it voting this terrible piece of legislation down is all about protecting the children, or the idiot from GA I believe that is "pro Second Amendment" and all for concealed carry, but thinks that this bill is horrible and actually weakens our Rights so it must be turned down?

I must add my apologies to TAB in advance, because according to a Rep. from Kalifornia if this passes we will be forcing them to join Illinois and eliminate all carry by private citizens.  After all, it is the only way they can protect their public and law enforcement officers from the dangerous idiots from other states that will now have the right to carry in their fine and safe state.

It will never see the light of day in this Senate.  Of course neither did Obamacare...

She was the first on my list, Sheila Jackson Lee. I hope she goes to the TX 'special place' and gets her own injection - - "for the children."
The GA gent was Rob Woodall and I couldn't figure why he was going on his rant about keeping the current CCW state laws in place. It was my understanding that 822 didn't stop states from doing with their resident permits as they please.  Pro 2A and was a yea vote anyway.

It was refreshing to hear the Representative from IL saying that Chicago has had concealed carry for decades - just not by the law abiding.
I agree with r_w - this is going to die in the senate, or get amended to death, whichever is most painful to us.

I'm glad I was able to catch about a third of this today, but I wish I had the debate recorded so I could get all the names and arguments down like you have.  Damn work keeps getting in the way!

[kmitch200]

Correction - It is now stating that Rob Woodall voted against the bill.
