Larger-scale political positioning.
One side will push for meaningless UBC, and will claim that all opponents are in favor of gun crime.
So, other side puts up a bill that would make people safer, and can claim all opponents are "pro-criminal."
That part makes sense.
How anyone expects states like NY, CT, MA, CA to agree to reciprocity with less-strict states--like MD, IL, NJ--let alone lenient states alike AR, TN, AZ, just confuses me. And that's before sorting out the mess of how some are CCW, some are LTC, and some are something else entire.
To then need to visit the fundamental problem of what the Nation can grant, it can also deny. Simple example: Congress nn passes NRC based on you must comply to the least stringent State's rules. Congress nn + x can then pass a bill amending the first that the most stringent State rule applies. What good is National Reciprocity Carry if you have to follow DC, or NYS carry rules?
Actually, Driver's Licenses are not, in fact, universal across the States. They actually vary pretty widely in identity requirements, carry requirements, restrictions and the like. The difference is that if you go to a State with a more stringent DL rule, you are not arrested for "illegal driving."
I'm all in favor standing up political cudgels to use against "our" opponents; we can use the help we get.
