Here is what GOA says:
By now, it is very possible that the House will combine the “Fix NICS” legislation with the reciprocity bill.
Ultimately, Gun Owners of America prefers that Congress send a clean reciprocity bill to the President.
But if the House combines the two bills together, one of two things will happen.
First, combining the two bills could end up killing the Fix NICS legislation. As a stand-alone bill, because of the support of the NRA and many in the House leadership, Fix NICS has enough votes to pass VERY EASILY in the House and Senate.
But it is very likely that Democrats would oppose a combined bill and filibuster it in the Senate. For this reason, prominent Senate Republicans and Democrats oppose combining the two bills — because they don’t want to kill the Fix NICS legislation.
Second, there is the slight possibility that combining the two bills will help concealed reciprocity go to the President’s desk.
As the situation stands now, Senate Democrats have enough votes to filibuster and kill reciprocity. But a combined bill might encourage some Red State Democrats to break from Schumer and vote “aye” on the bill.
