Back in March House Bill 398 was filed in North Carolina. The bill would repeal the requirement that someone must first obtain a permit prior to purchasing a handgun, a system put in place in North Carolina in the bad old days of the Jim Crow era to ensure that only the “right kind” of folks (i.e. the white kind) could legally get a gun. It’s the type of discriminatory and inequitable system that the Left should be railing against, but the anti-gun crowd doesn’t want to give it up.
More and more jurisdictions are coming to the realization that not only are purchase permits doing nothing to curb crime, they are also redundant. Since the inception of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), it has mooted the need for purchase permits in any state. These permits are just bureaucratic roadblocks placed in front of law abiding citizens.

LEGISLATOR S DEMOTION HIGHLIGHTS BACKROOM DEAL, POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Moore and his deputies defended their behavior ousting Howard from her leadership post, saying a deal had been cut in a closed-door meeting of Republicans to move the bill.

Julia Howard, in her role as one of four Senior House Finance Chairs did not move the bill, said a statement from Moore, House Speaker Pro Tem Sarah Stevens, R-Surry County and House Majority Leader John Bell, R-Wayne County.

Nothing done or said in those secret sessions is open to the scrutiny of the people
