GOP Rep: Paul Ryan Will Not Let Congress Touch Concealed Carry Reciprocity paul ryanAP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais by AWR HAWKINS8 Sep 20171,744 During the September 7 of Armed American Radio with Mark Walters, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said his concealed carry legislation is stalled because Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) does not want Congress to touch it. National reciprocity legislation—H.R. 38—would treat concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. Massie is the sponsor of H.R. 2909, which covers a blind spot in the national reciprocity legislation by mandating that Washington DC recognize concealed carry permits from all 50 states. H.R. 38 was introduced in Congress on January 3, 2017, and HR 2909 was introduced in June, following the attack on GOP Congressmen at Congressional Baseball Practice. But both bills are currently languishing in Congress. Mark Walters asked Massie about the lack of movement on national reciprocity, and Massie said, “The Speaker told me he didn’t think the timing was right.” An exasperated Massie then added, “But this is the exact time to bring this bill. So it is frustrating for me.” Massie continued, “Listen, I was no fan of [Speaker] John Boehner, but even under John Boehner, I was allowed to offer an amendment to the DC Appropriations Bill to defund all their gun control laws. It passed in the House. … We got all but four Republicans to vote for it and 20 Democrats voted to defund all of Washington DC’s gun control laws.” He explained that he secured the necessary votes to defund DC gun control at a time when no specific event provided the impetus for doing so. Now, however, the Alexandria baseball practice attack has provided impetus, making the passage of HR 2909 a no-brainer. Yet Massie admitted, “Paul Ryan will not let me bring that amendment to the floor.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...ncealed-reciprocity/ | ||

We are finding there is no good timing for Ryan to get some work done on just about anything the voters put them all in office for. Hopefully the WI voters have had enough of him as the rest of us. Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

I really dislike Ryan, but he may know he does not have the votes to pass it. Too many RINOS He may not want to have it a lightning rod that can't pass. It is going to be hard enough to pass the tax stuff. | |||

It's political suicide unfortunately so I don't know if it would ever happen. The backlash from the left would be larger than the backlash from the right was over Obamacare. Personally, I would rather see a smaller amount of political capital spent passing the hearing protection act. | |||

forget the pillowcase - seems like he would be a great candidate for waterboarding to prove conclusively if it can get you to change your mind... Ryan has outlived his usefulness as an idiot [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

He is no friend of any conservative American, regardless of their party! That asshole carried water for obummer for as long as he was in office.' One thing is clear as crystal: Ryan is the heart and sole of the GOPe.
