How is Congress going to move forward with the Second Amendment following the presidential election? Kerry Picket with The Washington Times speaks with Reps. Kat Cammack of Florida and Scott Fitzgerald from Wisconsin about efforts in their states and what they see as the potential direction under a Trump administration.
Ms. Cammack told Second Amendment activists Tuesday at a gathering in Milwaukee during the GOP convention that Republicans must be vigilant about registering and getting gun owners to the polls in November if the GOP wants to see any desired change, which includes passage of concealed carry reciprocity legislation across the 50 states and territories.

The U.S. Supreme Court has made several landmark decisions on firearms in the last 16 years. These ruling ranged from the right of private citizens to possess a common type of weapon and use it for lawful purposes to striking down state laws that required anyone who wanted to carry a concealed handgun outside the home to show “proper cause” for the license.
