Favorable by Judiciary; YEAS 7 NAYS 4.  (Vote split along party lines)

No changes in the text. I still not happy about it, but I will take the forward movement.

There were two representatives of Florida gun groups present: Marion Hammer with Unified Sportsmen of Florida and a representative from GOA whose name I could not understand in the video and I want to apologize because I would love to recognize him for his intervention.  And those were all the pro-gun groups present for the bill. There were a coup[le of civilians also supporting the bill and some opposing it like the league of Woman’s Voters (as usual) but interestingly, not Moms Demand.

Next stops in the Senate will be to Criminal Justice and Rules Committee. The House companion bill was sent to the Criminal Justice & Public Safety Subcommittee, but they have no scheduled meeting for any bill as of today.
