Actually, that last one looks like yet another personal information trap so that people like Dudley can continue spamming people for money.

As for "National Reciprocity," it's a first step towards what our Founding Fathers envisioned from the current debacle they not only and most certainly did NOT envision, but which they wanted to avoid at all costs.
Back in the day, before the ink was even dry on the Constitution, there was talk about what the government should do after the war. Such conversations involved "governing" the people in much the same way as the crown of England governed the colonies, namely, by prohibiting all manner of freedoms "for their own good" or "to keep them in their place.
One such conversation involved keeping firearms 'safely" tucked away in armories controlled by the government until the government deemed it necessary they be used again. Another mentioned hold people's dissent against the government against them as a form of sedition.
Our Founding Fathers responded with the Bill of Rights, which was essentially flipping the bird in the faces of those who wanted to control the colonists by stripping them of their rights and freedoms.
Fast forward to today's quagmire of local, county, state, and federal regulations governing who, what, where, why, how, and when U.S. citizens can keep, bear, and use firearms.
FOOEY. That's NOT what our Founding Fathers envisioned when they penned the words, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." James Madison was from Virginia, a state that not only encourage its citizens to keep and bear arms, it required it:
"In the colonies, availability of hunting and need for defense led to armament statues
comparable to those of the early Saxon times. In 1623, Virginia forbade its colonists to travel unless
they were "well armed"; in 1631 it required colonists to engage in target practice on Sunday and to
"bring their peeces to church."26 In 1658 it required every householder to have a functioning firearm
within his house and in 1673 its laws provided that a citizen who claimed he was too poor to
purchase a firearm would have one purchased for him by the government, which would then require
him to pay a reasonable price when able to do so."
That continued up through the American Revolution.
"Following the revolution but previous to the adoption of the Constitution, debates over
militia proposals occupied a large part of the political scene. A variety of plans were put forth by
figures ranging from George Washington to Baron von Steuben.32 All of the proposals called for a
general duty of all citizens to be armed."
Concealed? If the people so chose. Open? If the people so chose.
Thus, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" was never designed nor intended to allow for any government control at any level. It was instead specifically designed to prevent any and all government control of the right to keep and bear arms, at all levels.
With that in mind, ALL of the following are un-Constitutional infringements against the right of the people to keep and bear arms:
- limits on caliber
- limits on magazine capacity
- limits on carrying (openly or concealed)
- requiring permits for either method of carry
- limits on where people can carry in public or semi-public places
And yet here we sit, discussing how one infringement is ok while another one is not.
This is WRONG, people. Do not allow some sweet-talking huckster to rope-a-dope you into endless debates.
The Second Amendment is the LAW, in fact, "the supreme Law of the Land." It supersedes all other law, including case law (precedent).
It even trumps the United States Supreme Court, in that if We the People think SCOTUS screwed the pooch, we petition Congress to overturn SCOTUS with a clarifying Amendment.
Sadly, Congress' teeth have been infected with anti-Constitutional dogma for decades, so that's unlikely. Doesn't hurt to keep pushing, however.
