NRA/ALEC Republican "Constitutional carry" [View all]
The real goal of this obscene legislation is to sell more guns, and to turn the gun violence map of the USA blood red:

Green represents the states with the strongest gun laws and the least gun violence, and shows a direct link to weak gun laws and increased gun violence. The gun nuts will try to deny this correlation, but study after study confirms it.
What the NRA and their apologists are trying to accomplish is to spread their hate and violence all across this nation, just as the Trumpster and his drooling idiots are advocating.
Even the politically motivated
Heller SCOTUS (5-4 Republican) decision allowed for regulation of guns -- especially concealed guns -- and specifically stated that the decision should not be misconstrued to instill a "right" to carry any weapon, for any reason, in any venue. The right-wing gun nuts claim the "constitutional right" to carry guns anywhere, but the Second Amendment neither conveys that right, nor was it meant to.
Keep the public venues of our states, cities, and communities gun free, and gun violence free.
