The U.S. Conference of Mayors passed a resolution this week in opposition to two House and Senate GOP proposals that would endorse national concealed carry reciprocity, a top priority for the National Rifle Association (NRA) under a GOP-controlled White House and Congress. The mayors, including New York City’s Bill de Blasio and Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel, passed a resolution at their annual conference that calls on Congress to resist “dangerous” legislation that they argue prevents states and local governments from crafting gun laws appropriate to their needs, while undermining legislation already on the books.

"The U.S. Conference of Mayors passed a resolution this week in opposition to two House and Senate GOP proposals that would endorse national concealed carry reciprocity"
That, in itself, is an excellent reason to pass this bill. The only additional thing that would guarantee the rightness of these bills is if the Chiefs of Police group came out against it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
