I saw this one streamed live. The only non-legislator to speak was a representative of the National Organization for Women expressing her displeasure for the bill and pre-emption in general.  That she looked and talked like a pissed off mother-in-law who just woke up, did not help making her palatable.

I do not have the vote count yet, but I would not be surprised if it went along party lines. (I’ll update) And once again, I guess it goes to the floor.

I am having this unsettling feeling of optimism growing in the pit of my stomach that we may get two pro gun bills this year.

Votes: YEAS 11 NAYS 5. Along party lines, one Democrat did not vote.
