Make sure everybody knows that you support concealed carry reciprocity so you want the lower standards for carrying loaded weapons in your own state.

You support concealed carry reciprocity, repealing the ACA, $2 trillion in cuts to Social Security & safety net programs, separating children from parents, and the GOP tax scam that transfers more wealth to the upper 1%. You and the evil Trump party need to go.

Question: What is wrong with allowing these people guns in first place? Why do you have to allow them the guns before you try to take them away? What a messed up ideology. I hope the NRA donations and gifts have been worth the deaths that you could have stopped.
