Herpin and Rivera to introduce bills repealing mag ban and background check law on Jan. 8

[wctriumph]

I'm going to take the optimistic path and say that the mag ban will be repealed in an attempt to placate some and the Governor will sign it if it gets to his desk. The BGC law will not get to his desk. This is politics - compromise.

Loan me $20 and here, I'll give you back $10, that makes us even, we both lost $10. That is how it works.

Thanks for the heads up Justin. At least now I can e mail and fax some of the appropriate parties and let them know to support these repeals.

Great, 2 more politician idiots, just trying to secure votes and doing nothing useful.

Naturally they'll propose this now, knowing it has no chance. And should Gov, and some seats go red next election, oddly, with this then having a chance in passing, it won't be proposed then! No no, propose junk, waste time, get a few more votes behind them for "trying". But when they have the chance to do something, stand up for the people, oh no, no chance in hell they'll do it then.

So yeah more of the same, yay.

So two senators are recalled for mag ban/background check bills, and replaced by two new senators, and you are bitching because the new senators are trying to fix the very reason they were put into office. How much sense does this make?

I'd also like to propose the idea that this topic needs to be "refreshed" from time to time, do you realize the memory span of many folks that were "up in arms" over the bills when they first went into affect?

I'd squeal with joy if it got out of committee...

I would wonder if some of the Dems might be reluctant to vote Aye/Nay, and just abstain to try and keep a low profile ?
Now that they (the Dems in office) have seen proof that even strongly and traditionally Democratic districts are willing to take action against anti-gun legislators,
and even go to great lengths to mount campaigns to get them successfully recalled, they MAY be afraid to "speak up" against such non-partisan legislation.

When voting to repeal,
one might NOT be surprised at the number of AYEs, but MIGHT BE surprised and the sparse number of Nays and numerous abstentions.

[james_bond_007]

Are Herpin and Rivera sincere about the "repeal mag ban" position, or is it all just an act ?

Either way, the issue is getting attention.

I don't recall a time in the last 10 years that Democrats have given anything up in the name of "compromise." I have, however, seen US (those that know what "shall not be infringed" in the 2A means) lose ground due to (R)'s "compromising"- which oddly looks like surrender.
