An editorial in the Scranton, Pennsylvania Times Tribune claims to be "Calling out states' rights hypocrites." The allegation of "hypocrisy" is centered on gun rights advocates' condemnation of Pennsylvania Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane's signature on a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urging them to reject two national concealed carry reciprocity bills:
There is one area in which the states' rights crowd applauds federal intervention, however - regarding to the right to bear arms.
Two bills that have passed the House and await action in the Senate would make a mockery of the notion that states may regulate firearm use - even though one of the bills is called the Respecting States Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act [S. 2213]. The other is the National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act [S. 2188].
According to the Times Tribune editorial board, this is "hypocritical," because there is considerable overlap between gun rights advocates and state sovereignty advocates, who argue that the Tenth Amendment actually means what it says, and thus Congress has no legitimate regulatory power beyond that specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
