You definately do not understand the intent of this legislation. The feds have told no-one to do anything, except treat a CPL the same way they treat an automobile drivers license. Nothing more, nothing less. An automobile is a much more dangerous weapon than a firearm, yet all of the states agreed to recognize the others license to operate...now, with firearms, the states can't seem to get this same type of agreement done.
Anything you have heard that is against this legislation, I do not care where it came from, originated in the anti 2A movement. There is no attempt to control here. There is an attempt to make travel as save in your state, and any other state you may wish to visit. read the history of the Sullivan laws in NY...you will see what I am talking about.
You are wrong on several levels:
1) Driving a car is privilege, not a right. Carrying a gun is a right. Privileges may need licenses. Rights do not.
2) Some people who are STRONG 2A supporters are against this bill. The reasons are:
A) This bill reinforces the concept of requiring a license to exercise a right.
B) This bill gets the federal government involved (somewhat) in the licensing of carry permits.
C) Future federal actions may leverage off of this bill.
