SENATE JUDICIARY
The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. Bias against gun owners was evident as two gun-control bills pass out of committee and two pro-gun bills were killed. The hearing was a joke, with only gun-control advocates allowed to speak on one bill, all gun-control advocates and only one pro-gun advocate allowed to speak on another bill. I was allowed to speak on only one bill out of four bills! I must say that the Republican leadership was far more organized and evenhanded when they ran the General Assembly.
Here are the four bills considered:
SB1466, Obenshain, which exempts CHP holders from local gun-control, was killed by a 9 to 5 vote.
Voting anti-gun: Edwards, Saslaw, Lucas, Deeds, Petersen, Surovell, McClellan, Boysko, Morrissey
Voting pro-gun: Obenshain, McDougle, Stuart, Stanley, Peake
SB1430, DeSteph, removes requirement for a redundant background check to private sales of NFA items. Killed by an 8 to 6 vote.
Voting anti-gun: Edwards, Saslaw, Lucas, Deeds, Petersen, Surovell, McClellan, Boysko
Voting pro-gun: Obenshain, McDougle, Stuart, Stanley, Morrissey, Peake
SB1381, Ebbin, prohibits possessing or transporting a firearm in Capitol Square or into state government buildings (including rest areas). Passed by a 9 to 4 vote. Heads to Senate Floor.
Voting anti-gun: Edwards, Saslaw, Lucas, Deeds, Petersen, Surovell, McClellan, Boysko, Morrissey
Voting pro-gun: Obenshain, McDougle, Stanley, Peake
-
SB1382, Favola, takes away gun rights permanently for a conviction of misdemeanor domestic violence. Passed by a 8 to 4 vote. Heads to Senate Floor.
Voting anti-gun: Edwards, Saslaw, Lucas, Petersen, Surovell, McClellan, Boysko, Morrissey
Voting pro-gun: Obenshain, McDougle, Stanley, Peake
HOUSE COURTS OF JUSTICE
HB1992, Murphy, takes away gun rights permanently for a conviction of misdemeanor domestic violence. The bill was improved slightly to match Senate bill SB1382 as to which individuals are covered by the bill. But this bill is still horrible. HB1992 now heads to the House Floor.
