By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - A key House committee on Wednesday approved a Republican bill to expand gun owners' rights - the first gun legislation since mass shootings in Las Vegas and Texas killed more than 80 people.

In simple terms, each and every citizen has a right to be protected if your state allows carrying a concealed weapon, and the said citizen carries the weapon across the state line into another state which doesn't have such a law....just remember: Article IV Section I and II - you are of legal right to transport any and all personal property into another state. And this law has been around since 1791 when it was ratified. So, I laugh..."Why are those dummies in Washington wasting tax payers' money on the hours and time to rewrite a law/bill that already exists?"
