GREAT Job!!
I have heard that the bill was killed in committee, but am waiting for official verification (although with so many reporting in, I suspect it's true...), but regardless, it was a great showing. We flooded the hearing room, we buried them in testimony, and we showed them that we are a united, and powerful, group of voters!
And, while I truly thought everyone did a wonderful job, this was the "easy" one. We can't sit back and gloat now....I say that because on the more "hot button" issues like the "Assault weapons" ban, ammunition ban, etc., the opposition groups will be larger and better organized. There was basically only one group that supported this measure, and it was the plaintiff's attorneys that make their living over suing over things like firearm accidents. When we go up against the AWB folks, they will have more info and they will attempt to use what they so often do, emotion.
So, don't think we have reached our high water mark. And, this is not a comment on everyone's efforts, as they were great, but we need to do more. When the AWB bill comes up, we need to send in thousands of pieces of testimony. We had 600 signatures on the HRA petition to reform the firearms registration process, we should be able to get at least that much for the AWB.
I strongly suggest that you review the list of antigun (and progun) bills and begin writing your testimony now. Don't let an unexpected change in scheduling (yours or the legislature's) be the reason you couldn't submit testimony.
Once again, GREAT job every one!
