THIS IS FROM A SOURCE CALLED "THE TRACE" AND THEY ARE THE ANTI-FIREARM PEOPLE SPREADING THE BULL ABOUT GUNS,

3. “60 Minutes” picked apart a favorite argument of concealed carry reciprocity proponents 

"Of all the political and cultural issues that divide red states from blue ones, none is more volatile than guns and who can carry them."

So opened a “60 Minutes” segment examining the congressional push to pass the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would compel states to recognize concealed carry permits from every other states, regardless of differences in eligibility and training standards.

The bill passed the House of Representatives in December and now awaits action by the Senate.

Proponents of concealed carry reciprocity often argue that the legislation would effectively make gun permits akin to driver’s licenses: recognized by law enforcement agencies across the country. Their logic is flawed.

As we've noted
  • “...Governments and agencies voluntarily recognize driver’s licenses by joining an interstate compact, rather than submitting to a federal law mandating they do so.”
  • "States also agree to adopt basic security and recordkeeping practices when it comes to designing, issuing, and revoking driver’s licenses. ... No such equivalent system exists for concealed-carry licenses, and the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would not create one.”
Further, state concealed carry permit standards vary significantly; more than two dozen states don’t even require live-fire training. Standards for drivers licenses — while not uniform — are at least more similar.

Host Steve Kroft asked the bill’s sponsor, Representative Richard Hudson, about the false comparison. Hudson simply replied, “driving is a privilege, owning a firearm is a constitutionally protected right. So there is a difference."
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TAKE YOUR FIREARMS AND TRY TO TELL THE PUBLIC JUST HOW BAD THE GUNS ARE TODAY. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY PLAY ON PEOPLE'S FEELINGS.
