Re: HB1911 Com Substitute and HB560

Straus is an easy (and appropriate) target to blame, but it's not just him. Getting rid of "soft" supporters and closet antis/appeasers while not attacking our friends is virtually impossible unless you are privy to what's being said and done behind closed doors.
We don't know what goes on in government meetings not subject to open records, but we do know who in the House signed on as co-authors and sponsors of HB 560. Signing on is no guarantee they're with us, but failure to sign is unequivocal.

You make the common mistake of thinking Republican = Pro Gun.

I suggest voting for or against the incumbents based on their votes in committee and on the floor, not the letter after their name on the ballot, and definitely not their sweet nothings. It's a little more work but the results just may be worth it.
