But be aware that some states have restrictions on the sale of certain firearms but that may not mean you can't carry them. California has a list of "compliant" guns that can be sold there. Massachusetts has restrictions on I believe trigger pull of certain guns. This is when you hate states rights. NJ has a ban on hollow points. I think even carrying ammo in DC is a crime.

Wouldn't even get close to passing in the Senate and even if it did would be held up by leftist "lawfare" and liberal judges until a new Democrat majority repealed it. There's also the libertarian argument, which I somewhat subscribe to, that the Federal government should have no role in the regulation of criminal enforcement powers of states, EXCEPT to the extent that they infringe on Constitutional rights of citizens or directly affect interstate commerce.

But it is unconstitutional for States to not acknowledge documents from other States in good faith(ie Full Faith and Credit clause). Imagine if you had to take a driving test and get a drivers license for all 50 states? It is akin to the same thing, only its backed up by a constitutional right that driving isn't - so I don't see a National Reciprocity Bill being Government overreach, only enforcement of current constitutional guarantees/rights.

Try bringing in your "legally" purchased marijuana from Colorado into Texas and see how that works out. I had an Illinois drivers license when I was 16 and it was not honored in NYC (must be 18- unless you are a terrorist).
