=========================
Please contact all of them to encourage them to vote against these bills.
There are 2 very Anti-2A senators in this committee and 2 somewhat pro-2A senators in this committee. (They way they are voting now, I would be surprised if they all don't vote to pass these)
IF they vote 2 for and 2 against, Laura Thielen will be the key tie breaker.
