I heard a report but cannot confirm or deny, that several GOP house members signed on to a few 2A bills AFTER they were dead just so they could say they were in support but couldn't get them moving. I hope that this report is incorrect. and maybe "fake news".

If the bolded comment is true, it underlines the importance of identifying during the active session who the RINOS that are working against us in session. Now they will have a year and a half to convince us they are true conservatives that are for the 2nd Amendment. These same folks we were so afraid to offend are the ones quietly killing our legislation behind the scenes.
Both parties promote the opaque process as they think it will work in their favor. The problem is, one side has an inordinate amount of the power and is better at playing hardball politics than the other.
