The dems are stonewalling a bill trying to get the clock to run out before it can get to the floor. Apparently, they feel that's the only way to kill it.

While watching this and seeing the reps speak on quite a few different issues, I've come to the conclusion that I am amazed some of these people get elected and are considered leaders of our state.

It definitely isn't only gun related issues that are being held off.

Thought I was going crazier there for a second.

Sorry Charles, I thought I was on topic as my point is that there may be more interest in the other bills that are being held up than there is for gun bills. Lots of people are frustrated at the lack of progress on bills effecting the issues they are supporting.

Trying to promote the bigger picture of what the problem is so the cause can be addressed.


Edit: Well, it looks like Charles removed his admonishment.

We shouldn't overestimate how many favor campus or open carry. I have many friends that own guns, hunt regularly and are generally what I'd call "gun guys" that don't give one whit about open carry our campus carry. Some didn't even know bills had been filed much less know their status.

Some are even against open and concealed carry.

Hard to know what to believe. Here are a couple recent articles that may be of interest.

The tax relief is a big issue that is a wedge between the egos. I think the House is correct on this issue. There are three components to property taxes. Addressing one or two does no good.
