House Leaders to Merge Obama-Style
Gun Control with National Reciprocity

ARMED AMERICA is Safe Americal


Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is warning that House Leadership plans to merge Obama-style gun control with national reciprocity for concealed carry.
This news comes just days before Rep. Richard Hudson’s (R-NC) national reciprocity legislation, H.R. 38, is supposed to go the House floor for a vote.
Massie explains that the Obama-style gun controls are contained in the “fix-NICS” legislation, the very legislation that House Leadership “plans to merge” with H.R. 38. He used a Facebook post to explain the “fix-NICS” legislation would allow “agencies, not just courts, to adjudicate your second amendment rights.”
He expounds:
"Yet he believes it is a foolish attempt to gain the support of Senators like Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ..."
[“Fix-NICS”] encourages administrative agencies, not the courts, to submit more names to a national database that will determine whether you can or can’t obtain a firearm. When President Obama couldn’t get Congress to pass gun control, he implemented a strategy of compelling, through administrative rules, the Veterans Administration and the Social Security Administration to submit lists of veterans and seniors, many of whom never had a day in court, to be included in the NICS database of people prohibited from owning a firearm. Only a state court, a federal (article III) court, or a military court, should ever be able to suspend your rights for any significant period of time.
Massie does not name names, but presumes that some are seeking to add the gun control legislation as a way of “to ensure reciprocity will pass in the Senate.” Yet he believes it is a foolish attempt to gain the support of Senators like Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who will not support national reciprocity legislation “even if it contains the fix-NICS legislation they support for expanding the background check database.”
Massie observed, “If our House leadership insists on bringing the flawed fix-NICS bill to the floor, they shouldn’t play games. We should vote separately on HR 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill, and HR 4477, the fix-NICS bill. And we should be given enough time to amend the fix-NICS bill, because it needs to be fixed, if not axed.”

People are asking: "Say Rodge, would you sacrifice Jeff Flake, Dean Heller,  John Barrasso, Deb Fischer, and Orrin Hatch in the Senate races this year, and  every RINO on  this list of House members? -Even if it gave Dems control for two years?  Yes I would.  Because come  2020  a reelected Trump would have a congress  populated by actual  conservatives (aka patriots). 

Damn straight. We'd take it all back 1n 2020, and Trump can do what needs doing.

Dana Loesch tells us that the Fix-NICS bill isn't the nasty Obama-style gun control the article says. There is one of those, but this is actually a fix for problems with the NICS system.

Skoonj,

I'd sure like to think you're right, that it really is a NICS system repair- but.

*Feinstein* and *Schumer* are involved.

Those names should strike fear into any American, because the Constitution means nothing to them, and they have an agenda: they want to "fix" NICS all right.

They want to fix it so that no one can legally buy a gun, any gun, anywhere or anytime, and they work indefatigueably toward that end. Trust them? Not on your life!

Also- I think a good argument could be made that the entire NICS system is unConstitutional and has done nothing of value even if it is legal. All it seems to do is make life difficult for gun sellers and buyers, add additional cost to buying a gun, and (of course!) lend itself to establishing an illegal gun database. In short, I have no use for it. I'd rather go back to our system pre-1968 (ideally, pre-1934,) but I realize that won't happen overnight.

Eskyman, I admit to being confused. Hawkins, in Breitbart, has a detailed article which was highly negative about Fix-NICS. And if I'm confused, it must be a bad deal.

NRA-ILA has released an article saying Rep. Massie's piece contains several points of mis-information, which they correct. Tell you what, I need to read ALL this material carefully. I don't want to lend my force to the wrong side.
