The garbage fire in the White House may have his hands full stumping for a Republican child molester this week, but never doubt the rest of his party’s willingness to stump for the nation’s mass murderers.
Republicans lined up a vote this week in the House on making it easier for gun owners to legally carry concealed weapons across state lines, the first gun-related legislation since mass shootings in Nevada and Texas killed more than 80 people.
The bill is a top priority of the National Rifle Association, which calls it an important step to expand the right of gun owners to travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state laws or civil suits.
Ask them and they’ll all tell you they are fervent believers in state’s rights, so long, as it turns out, that those rights are used to enrich the rich, destroy the environment, or oppress the oppressed, among other noble goals. Try to improve people’s lives and suddenly they’re all for the Feds stepping in.
