GOP Rep: Paul Ryan Will Not Let Congress Touch Concealed Carry Reciprocity

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.”

What. A. Bastage.

This is the perfect time.

Keep it up, Ryan. See what happens.

Ryan is no friend of gun owners.

I grew tired of Ryan a long time ago.

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.

May he join Eric Cantor in the ranks of majority leaders who lose their primary.

What is not right about the timing, pray tell?

Bastid.

The only things that I can think of is the lack of supermajority in the Senate, and the makeup of the Supreme Court...

Pretty sure the right check has not cleared is the main hold up...

Fuck him then. Tired of his ass anyway.

Okay.

Who has the pillowcase filled with doorknobs?

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

He needs to go. Simple as that. Cannot get a coalition together, now this crap.

It would likely pass, and be signed by Trump
