The Washington Post raised the thorny issue of national concealed carry reciprocity Friday, suggesting that if it is added as an amendment to the background check bill, it might kill the measure. The newspaper said it was offered as an amendment but Democrats “flatly rejected” the idea.
Well, specifically, one (1) Democrat — vehemently anti-gun New York Sen. Charles Schumer — rejected it

As I said…. Poison pill.
Do it!
I reject Schumer !!! The POS!
What’s the problem? They wanted compromise didn’t they?
Yep, thanks Toomey. He could have easily done this without Schumer, and kept that in there, if he wanted to be seen as ‘doing something”. But nope, he was an idiot.
So ,for sure, now, this bill is poison, eh? Of course, anything Schmucky Schumer touches is poison.
Of course Schumer was against it. He’s against any citizen exercising their rights to carry a firearm within limits of the law. There should be nation wide reciprocity allowing law abiding citizens to carry a firearm for personal protection anywhere as long as you obtain a permit in your home state of residence first. That just makes sense.
