Paul Ryan Blocking Concealed Carry Reciprocity
[Ammoland] Speaker Paul Ryan will not allow Congressional action on national concealed carry reciprocity to move bills forward, Rep. Thomas Massie told host Mark Walters Thursday on Armed American Radio. The reason given is Ryan thinks the timing isn't right to consider H.R. 2909, the D.C. Personal Protection Reciprocity Act, a supplement to state reciprocity provisions of H.R. 38.Massie went on to explain how he's seen "a lot of pro-gun bills being introduced but they were going nowhere." That's a common tactic among politicians happy to capitalize off good press they can showcase to their constituents while cynically understanding the bills are intended for that, not to actually be passed and to change anything. "We've got over 80 cosponsors at this point," Massie told Walters when asked the status of his bill, which is currently and procedurally in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform because Congress has oversight responsibility for Washington D.C. He's "pressing for a hearing on it." Tame Republicans. What are they good for? Posted by: Iblis 2017-09-12 |
