I don't get a good 2A vibe from reading their backgrounds as posted. BJ does not want anyone to have the right to protect themselves other than his own bodyguards. Where are the qualifications that would make these people objective for making fair decisions regarding who gets to be CCL holders?

Jon Johnson was already on the board and continues. He is listed as an Independent. Given the board history of overturning objections, although we havent seen any FOIA numbers lately, Im curious what some comments are based on although I get that JBP is not pro 2A.

 

Inger Burnett-Zeigler shows as a Democrat, but searching found nothing firearms related in her background.

 

Didnt look at the other 2.
