Hogan has a choice of whether to sign , not sign or veto bills brought to his desk. if he signs any anti gun bill he is selling OUR rights for votes. unless he signs them and really is anti gun which would mean he agrees with the bills. the only way he would be supporting our rights would be to veto any such anti 2a legislation and explain why.
many times in my life I have been between a rock and a hard place. I have been asked to lie and to cheat for money. my lawyer told me once that all I had to do was lie and someone who was suing me would have to pay me. in every case I chose to do the right thing. to tell the truth, to stand up for what I believe in, not to hurt others just to save some money. lifes a hard road. and when its over all a man has to take to his grave is his reputation. I wont tarnish mine and I expect the same from others. so if Hogan wants votes from folks like me and from the hard right he has to stand up and do the right thing, unless of coarse he agrees with the antis and he is doing what he thinks is right.
and yep, dems play hardball. Hogan should veto every bill they send him, they cant over ride his veto for another session anyway so at least he would get his way for a little while.
I didn't know that! I just thought it would go back to the MGA right away. That shows why I'm not worthy of Pres of MSI
ETA: ...and then I saw this...
For what its worth the legislature can pass and send bills to the Governor before the end of the session and he has 6 days to sign or veto, if he vetoes the legislature can over ride before end of session, look for them to do that again this year, it was a little used rule until we had a republican Governor, basically there is nothing Hogan can do if the legislature rushes the bills through.
Copied this from an article about last year,
This is the second consecutive year that the General Assembly has sent bills to the governor before the end of the 90-day legislative session.
Lawmakers are taking advantage of a little-used provision in the state constitution, which says bills sent to the governor at least six days before the end of session must either be signed or vetoed, giving the legislature time to override any vetoes before it adjourns.
