Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Kennedy (R-LA) introduced a bill that would allow those who possess concealed carry licenses in their states to carry firearms in all 50 states.

If passed, the bill could be a massive victory for Second Amendment rights, which have been under attack in blue states after the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Kennedy said the bill "would affirm Americans' fundamental liberties while respecting every state's right to make their own laws," in a press release.

Cornyn noted that the proposed legislation “would reduce unnecessary burdens for law-abiding citizens and allow them to carry a concealed firearm in every state that permits it.”

Several other Republican lawmakers have cosponsored the measure.

The law aims to standardize concealed carry laws by ensuring that those who have gone through the process to obtain a license will not be prohibited from carrying their firearms in other states.

The legislation would bar states from imposing additional restrictions on non-residents who have a license that go further than laws that apply to residents.
