Charles L. Cotton had some concerns about this, which he posted in another thread a week or so ago, and I posted one like it as well, a day or two before that. But I also recall that the democrat head of that committee, Joe Pickett (I think???), its also A-Rated by the NRA. We'll see, won't we?texanjoker wrote:http://www.agendawise.com/2013/02/speak ... committee/
If true, could be a bill buster. Part of the article here:
Speaker sends important gun bills to D-chaired committee
February 18, 2013 | Blog, Featured
Today, the Speaker dealt a significant blow to two important conservative gun bills when he referred them to a committee chaired by a Democrat.
One of them, a campus carry bill, could have easily been sent to the Republican-chaired Higher Ed Committee. This bill, HB 706, was co-authored by Reps. Capriglione, Leach, Klick, and Laubenberg.
Instead, it was referred along with Rep. Lavender’s HB 700 – a bill to legalize open carry in Texas – to the House Committee on Security and Public Safety, chaired by El Paso Democrat Joe Pickett.
