re: Cornyn Introduces National Conceal-Carry Reciprocity Legislation

I was listening to Gottlieb from Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms on NPR last night. That group was actually for the bill saying that it states that no national registry may be created, allows for CC across state lines, allows for handgun purchases in other states, etc. Interesting interview with Robert Siegel (devout Democrat).

Supposedly Gottleib and company (the SAF) scrubbed the endorsement from their website after people did some analysis of the bill.
It provides for criminal penalties if the Attorney General (includes ATF) creates a registry, but doesn't say anything about whether other agencies (like DHS) could create a registry. Also, who would prosecute the AG for creating a registry? The AG himself is the ultimate prosecutor.
I'm pretty sure it also reads such that they cant take records from active FFLs to create a registry. So what happens when an FFL retires and turns in his yellow sheets?

Basically the Democrats have much craftier lawyers writing bills. Any gun legislation written by them will screw us.
