mauserme Posted January 9, 2023 at 12:52 AM Share Posted January 9, 2023 at 12:52 AM As one final reminder, Mr. Durkin is the last of three people identifying as Republicans to vote against concealed carry in 2011 when it was offered as HB148. Of the three, Sidney Mathias and Rosemary Mulligan were given the boot during the next election. This has been a long time coming. HB148 was model legislation. We had the votes, until we didn't.

What's the difference between helping evil people do evil or doing nothing about it? This is one way Marxism goose steps forward - when opposition surrenders.
