The Second Amendment applies to everyone in the country. Individual states’ gun laws do not. Of all the laws Congress could consider in the wake of the nationwide rash of mass shootings, including the Las Vegas massacre, the House of Representatives pushed through a bill that would allow people from other states to carry concealed weapons across state lines. |

Convenient whining.
It does not.
Article IV Section 1 of the Constitution delegates the power for the United States gov't to mandate Full Faith and Credit. Since it does, this bill is in EXACT compliance with the 10th Amendment.
The argument of 'states' rights' falls on its face. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
