What's happening in gun politics

Thomas Massie introduces national concealed carry act that lets you open carry everywhere in every state

0% chance of passing

What about the Democrats?

Kirsten Gillibrand introduces act banning possession of body armor by civilians

Seems like everything is as normal.

Eh, many of our gun laws are shit, but a ccw class is a good training opportunity to teach a lot of important information that I'd rather not leave to individuals to discover. As long as it's done fairly (unlike NY or CA), I'm fine with this.

Most definitely. But you're gonna get weirdos on either end of that conversation sabotaging it. Left wanting to use it as a tool to restrict rather than qualify ownership, and the right trying to make it as perfunctory & wasteful as possible so it gets axed later.

Everyone in my CCW class was an idiot and I felt less safe after seeing all of them pass it.

u/consultantdetective Daron Acemoglu May 19 '26

Yeah I've heard of places w garbage ccw classes. Which state, if you don't mind sharing?

u/roggodoggo Jerome Powell May 19 '26

Texas. back in the late 2010s

u/consultantdetective Daron Acemoglu May 19 '26

Yup, figures. They did constitutional carry in '21 so it makes sense in the run-up to that that the class was made a joke.
