What's so hard to understand? The Founding Fathers recognized that there would be different values and ideas in the various areas of the Country and they didn't want to see a "Supreme" central government. With the exception of those rights enumerated in the Constitution and BOR's they wanted the States to be free to govern their citizens as they saw fit. What's happened is that the States have ceded the rights they originally had in order to nurse at the Federal Government's teat.
On the other hand, one of the weaknesses of our original government, the Articles of Confederation, way too much power was vested in the States. Our Constitutional Republic was formed to solve some of the original problems with the "Confederation". That meant taking back some States power. Apparently this bill will accomplish a similar task by forcing States to honor other States carry permits.
Exactly, and the states still get to decide under what restrictions people must carry, or whether they want to have a permit system at all.
If a state REALLY feels like this is intruding on their "public safety" so much, all they have to do is get rid of their permit system. I'm sure the people of California (for example) wouldn't even notice if it simply went away.
Of-course, all the politicos, celebrities and rich people would.
