HOUSE “REPUBLICANS” VOTE AGAINST GUN RIGHTS
Today, the Senate Republicans continued to deny quorum and continued to block the Democrat’s far left agenda.
On the House side, “Republicans” Charlie Conrad and Kevin Mannix joined the Democrats to pass HB 2572.
All other Republicans voted no.
As we have warned you, this bill is a direct attack on individual 2nd Amendment rights and a free pass for antifa.
The bill specifically exempts organizations that are not “under a command structure.” And no less a reliable source than our own President has assured us that antifa is merely “an idea”.
The tactics used by the left to disrupt and intimidate; “corkers” and “bike blocks,” were also specifically noted as NOT being subject to the bill, as noted by far left extremist Dacia Grayber, the bill’s sponsor.
The testimony by the Democrat supporters was mostly simple lies. The testimony by “Republicans” Mannix and Conrad were a display of inexcusable, intentional, ignorance.
Grayber inferred in her floor speech that NRA was involved in the crafting of this bill. NRA flatly denies it. In fact, throughout the history of this bill Grayber has been making the same statement even after and NRA stated clearly in a hearing on the bill that this was false.
Kevin Mannix’s anti-gun history goes back almost 25 years. Conrad is new at it.
If the House Republican’s insist on meeting and thereby greasing the skids for the Democrats, you would think they could at least keep their own people on board with protecting your rights.
The bill will now go to the Senate where we hope it gets the death it richly deserves because of the heroic action of the Republicans who have denied quorum.
