REAL TIME Gun Bill Day Thread 2.25.19

[jhow85]

8 hours gone by and only two bills have been worked through so far, the LGQL bill and the "Ghost Gun" bill. Pro-2A testifiers significantly outnumbering antis. Surprisingly little drama and AFAIK nobody has been ejected yet.

whats 'worked through' mean? They failed to pass? They will be voted on at a later date?

Then they took off together and she left her phone on the floor one one of our guys ran the phone to her.

Also saw one of our guys politely hand a forgotten coat back to one of the Moms.

I saw that

One of the moms and a guy were sitting on the floor in front of me for quite sometime in the overflow room. I dont know why it looked so weird it was like they were on a date in a park. Then they took off together and she left her phone on the floor one one of our guys ran the phone to her.

I was in the back right corner of the mont cty room and you guys were next to where they opened the next room over to make one big room. They got up and one of you had to run to give the phone to them.

What was Awkward was when The Sheriffs went up front and talked to the crowd in the overflow room,, and everyone but the "MDA" were applauding,, I leaned over and whispered to one leftover 60's hippi Mom "Makes you want to re-assess your position, when you are on the opposite side of law enforcement"

Priceless

Well this is interesting...MDA people are being sat in with us. AWKWARRRRD!

Today is hearings, not votes. No decisions, but lots of body language to watch.

I offered that guy one of my "I will not comply" stickers. He refused

Smokey was the upstanding citizen that raced to her aide.

That sounds exactly like what a domestic terrorist would do

You should have pulled out a pen and offered to cross out the "not" for him.

when are the votes taking place? Need to ration my anxiety appropriately.

Literally any day between now and 8 April. No way to know for sure unless you have an insider in the Speaker's Office. No point worrying about the vote days, hearing days are when you can make a difference.

In theory, committees are supposed to report results by 12 March, and bills that need to crossover to the other chamber are supposed to be done by 18 March. But rules can be suspended at the whim of Busch & Miller.

Yes, I have seen nothing but people being nice and cordial to the moms.

I was told that some of them ran off to caucous in the bathroom and were overheard saying they were disturbed by the number of “Arian men”.

That shows you the kind of people we’re dealing with.

Just comply...

Willfährigkeit Macht Frei?

 

[jhow85]

Worst case the HBAR bill goes through - would citizens be able to sell their firearms to free citizens in other states? Could I sell mine to my elderly father?

Yes, prior to 1 Oct. That day you become a criminal if you still possess it. If the current bill becomes law, that is.

Anyone ordering pizza during session?

Willfährigkeit Macht Frei?

Correct, unfortunately on my dad's side of the family and my wife's side of the family there were many that did comply.

At the Holocaust Museum in DC there is a medal that honors those that resisted;
The Medal is composed of four pieces joined together in a pendant form.
The center section of the medal is a gold bas-relief of three partisans in the forest, surmounted by a red and white enamel bar signifying the stripes of the American flag.
A blue and white enamel magen David hangs beneath bas-relief, and from it hangs a ruby in the shape of a drop of blood.
The ruby recalls the line from the Partisan’s Hymn: Un vu gefalen iz a shpritz fun undzer blut, shprotzen vet dort undzer gvure, undzer mut (And wherever a drop of our blood has fallen, from there sprouts our heroism and courage).

Also - Hogan can veto/not sign bill, right??

Sure, you can deliver it yourself. They will even provide transportation. Just get on their train.

My side had both sides. Some complied but most didn’t and were executed
