Paul Ryan Ignoring National Reciprocity for 43rd Consecutive Week

It is October 31 and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) is ignoring national reciprocity legislation for the 43rd consecutive week.

National reciprocity was introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) on January 3, 2017, and law-abiding citizens have been waiting for Congress to take up the measure ever since.

The wait is fast-approaching a year, yet Ryan remains mum on the legislation. President Trump signaled that he wanted national reciprocity early in his campaign. Breitbart News reported Trump’s conviction that “concealed carry…is a right, not a privilege.” He used a September 18, 2015, policy position paper to explain his support of national reciprocity, saying:

"The right of self-defense doesn’t stop at the end of your driveway. That’s why I have a concealed carry permit and why tens of millions of Americans do too. That permit should be valid in all 50 states. A driver’s license works in every state, so it’s common sense that a concealed carry permit should work in every state. If we can do that for driving – which is a privilege, not a right – then surely we can do that for concealed carry, which is a right, not a privilege."

But Ryan’s only statements on national reciprocity to date were those he spoke to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) after the June 14, 2017, Alexandria attack. Ryan told Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) that “he didn’t think the time was right” for legislation revolving around reciprocity.

Therefore, while Ryan enjoys taxpayer-funded armed security wherever he goes..

RINO Ryan needs to leave with his P90X in hand and head back to the heartland, where people have guns! Vote this clown out of office in 2018

Another McCain claims to be a Republican working for the people and he only does what he thinks is beneficial for him. Another part of the swamp that needs to go.

Begin the hanging before it's too late.

And never think you need to ASK someone if it's okay with them if you carry a gun.
Those same "someone's" won't be there when your family gets attacked.
Neither will the police.
Politicians? DEFINITELY NOT.
According to those "someone's", you'll just have to stand there and watch while 10 welfare thug b***hes take turns kicking your wife in the head until her eyes pop out and then have to watch them take turns kicking the face of your 8 year old daughter. Not that it would do any good, but you could scream for help. The police will be there in 10 minutes. In time to pronounce your wife dead and file a report.
Just don't shoot them. Nope. Your "leaders" DEMAND that you sacrifice whatever you have, including your life. They believe that the life of a high school dropout with a felony record and a bad drug habit is MUCH MORE valuable than yours --- otherwise they wouldn't leave you at their mercy.
Carry a gun, or two.
Jury Nullification.
Did I mention hanging them? With fishing line? While being set on fire??
Just to be sure, you know......
Keep up the cheering while the ones you cheer sell you out EVERY DAY.

Let him defend himself, why does he need an armed guard around him?
