SCOTUS ruling on Gay marriage = national reciprocity?

[Alpha-17]

You're reaching if you're trying to find a positive in this. A far more likely result from the SCOTUS's regutting of the 10th Amendment would be to overturn any Second Amendment Protection/Preservation Acts that have been passed by the various States, or, a smack down of the the various concealed carry laws as they pose a danger to citizens that don't have them. Equal protection under the law, right?

I've actually had an epiphany on this. Let's suppose for the sake of supposin' that the recent SCOTUS decisions really are the result of some secret NSA-meta-data-based blackmail or something.

TPTB could very well be scouring the country for some fast-track court case that would allow them to revisit and overturn Heller.

I know, I know, the SCOTUS very rarely reverses itself, but if it's been compromised somehow, anything could happen.

I agree it opens the door to all kinds lawsuits. Polygamy, age of Consent, ccw, nfa, legal pot, legal any drug really......

More watering down of states making their own choices and voting them. Legislation by court is so much easier anyway, right......er.....um.......

They are going to pick and choose of course. But still, high profile lawyers dream come true.

This SCROTUS would turn equal protection into equal peril.

Ok, let's say it passes, as we have seen in other gun rulings anti-gun states and cities just don't follow the law. Sure you can CCW anywhere, after you spend a couple nights in jail while they verify your credentials.

Actually, this is something the right should take away from the Progressives- they lose court fights and don't follow the ruling anyways. We need to start dragging our feet and skirting the law.

This falls flat on its face when you understand that all states allow some form of legalized firearm carry. Whether shall or may issue is irrelevant, and that is the argument which will be used to ensure SCOTUS never even sees it let alone overturns any may-issue laws.

No, but what is relevant is that those same states that *technically* allow CCW (but in reality don't) do not have to honor a CCW from another state. However, now that gay marriage is nationally sanctioned states that don't allow gay marriage must now honor it. Seems what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Do I think it will get traction? No (unfortunately). Do I think it will happen if someone has the balls and $$$ to push it? Still no. Do I think it's the right thing to do, given this force-it-down-your-throats thing has been sanctioned? Abso-freaking-lutely!

I remember when I lived in CA and frequented Calguns a lot of people there including lawyers thought this would help their situation about reciprocity. It certainly makes sense to me, however I don't know if it will work out that way in court.

Reciprocity already exists for license plates.

Its not going to help here.

If half the gun owners in the country have $5 toward a lawsuit we would be able to push this to SCOTUS.

Concealed carry reciprocity is not going to happen. The reason why is the current leftist majority in the Supreme Court doesn't follow the constitution and is simply making shit up as it goes along.
