We Hold These Truths to be Self-Evident

First of all, the mere fact that you need a permit to carry a firearm, whether concealed or openly is an infringement of the 2nd Amendment. [More]
I can't argue with that.  No one can, at least not honestly.

[LOUDLY] Amen!

He was preaching to choir, right?

It would be more valid and appropriate if instead of declaring reciprocity among the states, for H.R. 2959 to explicitly state that no Congress or state may pass a law infringing on the right to keep and bear arms, explicitly revoking any and all currently enacted laws at the Federal and state level. Inappropriate use of weapons will continue to be a violation of state laws.

For a short list of current Federal laws, see here:

What other Constitutionally enumerated rights are infringed by Congress and the various states?
