HB-1155 What We are doing. . .

Recommended Posts

There are going to be a series of amendments on HB-1155.

 

It looks like HB-997 will be stuck in committee and we will be given a chance to amend HB-1155. Our job is to shut down bad amendments and have an amendment that turns HB-1155 into HB997 for final passage.

 

That's whay the message started with we will not take a BAD BILL.

 

Now we want to kill any bad amendment and only have our supporters vote for our amendment, thus gutting the antis' efforts.

Just give us our marching orders and we will bury them in calls, emails and in person visits.

 

You've got them, in several threads: Call the reps and tell them:

 

1. Oppose any amendment to HB1155 that is NOT endorsed by the NRA.

 

2. Support any amendment to HB1155 that IS endorsed by the NRA.

 

No bad bill, no bad amendment.

Got cha, like what Quinn tried to do to get an AWB passed in Dec.

 

Like what Kotowski tried to do in the Senate in 2009. Read through the amendments, check the dates, see the bill as filed, see how a bill that originally starts as "concerning the sexual exploitation of children" turns into a magazine ban.

 

There truly is nothing new under the sun.

IMO, if he is agnostic about it, then this maneuver allows him to do a few things:

1) He killed the horrible, terrible, evil carry bill in committee.

2) He pushed a safe, reasonable, and common sense carry bill.

3) When the amendment process takes over and we are successful in turning HB-1155 into HB-997,

he can blame the crazy gun lobby for hijacking his bill and making the children less safe.

 

"I tried with all my might" will be his answer, thus providing himself political cover. He also scores points with his base by fighting the

evil NRA gun lobby.

This is just my analysis, which isn't worth a lot.

Editorial Addition: Of course, his hope is to kill our bill and be successful with his.
