GOP Still Supporting Open Carry Nationwide W/ NO Background Checks - Restrictions.

Believe it or not the GOP still supports open carry weapon of choice nationwide anywhere you want. Schools, churches, libraries, hospitals, police departments, museums, theaters, grocery stores, day care centers, on the street etc etc etc.

Absolutely nothing will change their heart. It is that simple. And the NRA is willing to give millions upon millions of dollars.

students at a high school.

And suppose that Congress/Senate passes and Trump signs Open Carry Nationwide.

And Nikolas Cruz goes on a road trip to another state. He's off the radar. Why should Vermont know or care about Cruz being expelled for behavioral issues? Or Illinois? And he does the same thing, only in a different state.

While I understand that Cruz could do this with or without the blessing of Congress and Trump (what's one more felony when you've killed 17 people?), does the nationwide Open Carry proposal allow more shootings as the shooters will not be able to be traced or followed?
