Free people are going to do what free people are going to do.  How many people commenting in this thread have done so much as call their Senator yet on this bill?

hmmm?

I called a few days after I read about the introduction this bill. It was a waste of 2 minutes. Tupac Hunter, need I say more?

It's all a huge waste of time and effort. Going does no good. Writing letters does no good. Calling is useless. They have their own self-centered interests motivating them. They will lie and pander to us when they want to get elected. But once entrenched at the government trough, re-election is all they think about.

Case in point...

I hear ya.
My wife and I are looking to relocate our business to either TX or OK just because this state is not small business friendly. She doesn't want to move so I will be stuck living here but can no longer afford to run a business here.

And I see it getting worse for the small guy. I shut down a few years ago. Much easier to collect a paycheck and sleep at night.

The one thing that that hinders the most is the "Single Business Tax" that just won't go away.

SBT died in 2008, replaced by MBT, which has since been replaced by CIT.

You are correct. Just more Newspeak a la "1984"
"The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime." Miller v. U.S. 230 F 486 at 489

"Where rights as secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which will abrogate them." Miranda v. Ariz., 384 U.S. 436 at 491 (1966).

Senator Colbeck is in full support of this bill as he was of SB59

Our legislatures are cowards pure and simple... It's gonna be a long summer if spring ever gets here..
I carry a firearm because their are real threats in the world and when seconds count; the Police are minutes away!

I doubt that it will. NO legislator wastes their political chips on worthless legislation.

Worthless to who, their constituents or their political careers?

worthless to waste their political favors on. If it isn't going to get passed, why waste favors on it. Politically worthless.

Gotcha, so no pro gun legislation until at least 2014 when we can hopefully get rid of the RINO's and anti-gun dems and replace them with our kind of people.

Rick is the biggest part of the problem at the moment -- and nobody is seeking to primary him :(

Which is why we should start pushing hard now. Let these people know that if they don't start passing some pro gun laws, we will start passing out pink slips. Waiting until fall is too late to start, it needs to be started before the elections get going.
