Charles, when this is all over, I hope you'll be able to offer your perspective regarding how OCT and the rest of that crowd impacted other gun/weapon bills. I have my own thoughts on the issue, but I'd be interested to know your thoughts based on what you've heard from legislators and lobbyists.Charles L. Cotton wrote:The Dutton amendment came out of the blue and it wasn't debated for more than a couple of minutes. Then, predictably, the law enforcement community took offense and the backlash was huge. The Senate knew this, Huffines knew it and that's why the amendment was stripped in the Senate State Affairs Committee. There were not going to be 19 votes to consider HB910, if it came out of committee with the amendment intact.Overthehill wrote:But they voted for the Dutton Amendment. Huffines was the same as the one they approved. So maybe they never meant for it to pass in the first place as they possessed no logical reason to change their vote. Just how it appears from here.
To people who want to blame anyone other than Huffines, I hope you kept up with information and hints I was giving about HB910 and SB11. I can't ever tell everything I know, but people who have been following the Forum for a few legislative sessions know that when I make statements about risks, those statements are based upon facts, not conjecture or supposition.
HB910 isn't dead, but it certainly has one foot in the grave, a grave dug by Huffines, Grisham and OCT.
Chas.
