Lawmakers [representatives] are considering a House bill that would give Americans who hold permits to carry firearms in their home states the right to carry their weapons across state lines.
Gun control groups like the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence have successfully defeated similar legislation in the past, and vow to stop this bill as well. They're aligning with a number of elected officials and law enforcement organizations, who say this measure would make it even tougher for officers to determine which guns are on the streets legally or illegally.
