Did you follow the regular session at all?

Regardless, neither bill will receive a vote unless Perry adds a relevant issue to the special session call.

If you're asking if I followed every bill in regular session, NO. I'm not sure how that is relevant to my post about these two bills. I know we got some favorable bills passed. I did follow HB 508 similar to Patrick's SB 8 that was hijacked by a Senate amendment at the last minute that would have given elected officials and attorneys and others as outlined in HB 9 special carry privileges. The House refused to sign off and the bill died in regular session. My point is when push comes to shove most politicians do not hold the wishes of the people they represent foremost. That's a generality I know, but that's my opinion. If they followed what the majority of people want legislation such as Obama Care would have never passed.
