    We only have one house and we don't have the votes to override Hick, so I would guess nil.

    It would be very smart for Dems to support it and start trying to appeal to "normal" folks on issues that don't do anything for them. But they're Dems and they don't give back "progress."

    Wasn't the house veterans and military affairs committee the location of the kill last time though? What has changed?

    This is what I've been thinking. IF they were smart they'd let the repeal happen. That would placate 90% of gun owners who wouldn't have as much fire to repeal the Universal Background Check law (which is the most dangerous one for us) or push the state government back red. They could preserve the rest of their agenda if they'd give on this one tiny thing.

    Thing is they're greedy ... and the mag ban is classic symbolism over substance so most of them would give up the real power of the UBC law to preserve the silly mag ban. SMH
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    It's not just that they don't give back progress. They aren't capable of being "smart" about guns. Not only are they ignorant, they revel in their ignorance. That last part just makes them stupid. Yes, I'm looking at you, Rapsheet, and you, DeGette.
