That's far enough, and maybe my mistrust is misplaced. He might have been burning the political capital to offset the left in back room deals. I am not an insider and can only provide my opinion based on what I was able to catch during the session.mojo84 wrote: I am completely against Straus and almost all of my reasons are not related to the 2nd Amendment or guns. However, we have to give credit where credit is due. If he was dead set on open carry or any other gun legislation not getting passed, it wouldn't see the light of day in committee much less floor discussion or a vote. Therefore, he did have a big part in getting some gun legislation passed this session.

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities
I won't speak for amtank, but I took his statement to be one dripping with sarcasm.
Personally I don't believe the Speaker did anything FOR gun owners. In fact I watched, sometimes cussing at the tv, and wondered if he worked for the other team. I think he is no friend to the 2A and wonder how he got and/or maintains an "A" rating.

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities
Pardon the interruption, but I do believe we need a "sarcasm" button.. Also the irony that Speaker Straus has/had an "A" rating when in fact he should be rated "D" at best.Charles L.
