Quick. Check the Constitution.

By what authority do they do this, this party of soi-disant strict constructionists and limited government fans?

Talk about fake news.

Where in section 8 of Article I do they find the power to do this?

If they claim the commerce clause their readings are as broad and implausible as any liberal's.

And you know they aren't claiming either the general welfare clause or the necessary and proper clause.

They are allowing gun toters from Vermont where no actual permit is required, as concealed carry is lawful for everyone, to carry a little bubble of Vermont law with them, as regards this one particular matter, wherever they go in the US, in blithest ignorance of and unconcern for the laws of every state through which they may serenely pass, as regards gun rights.

Guns are just so special, you see.

If this is passed and is taken by state attorneys general to the Supremes and the conservatives among them defend it their hypocrisy will be evident and beyond laughable.

The Second Amendment does not have a finishing sentence, "Congress shall have power to enforce this amendment by appropriate legislation," even if we accept a version of incorporation that makes it binding on the states.

Update 08142020. How does this proposal comport with the requirement of full faith and credit?

House Votes to Sharply Expand Concealed-Carry Gun Rights

The House on Wednesday easily passed a sweeping expansion of the right to carry concealed firearms virtually anywhere in the country, putting the fate of the National Rifle Association’s top legislative priority in the hands of a divided Senate.

To win over Democrats, House Republicans paired the measure, which would require all states to recognize any other state’s concealed-carry permit, with a more modest bipartisan fix meant to incentivize better reporting of legal and mental health records to the national background check system.

Together, the measures were the first gun-related bill to pass through the chamber since two of the deadliest mass shootings in the United States, in Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, Tex., in the fall.

But the background check measure was not enough to win over most Democrats, nor did it persuade law enforcement officials in some of the largest cities, including New York, who say the legislation would force locales with strict gun laws to bow to places with few or no gun restrictions.

The final House vote was 231 to 198, with six Democrats in favor of and 14 Republicans against the bill.
