Two is one, and one is none....
If 2 is 1 and 1 is 0, then 2 is 0.
Seems when Dems have power in DC our legislators actually do something at the state level to appease the masses.
When Rs have control in DC, we see no progress...anywhere.

I like your prediction. Wonder why 1289 was DOA?HB1927 a CC bill has 58 sponsors... keeping in mind that their are 150 House members, 67 democrat, and 83 republicans.
One of the 58 Sponsors is a Democrat. So that leaves 66 democrats, and 26 Republicans uncommitted to that specific CC Bill.
HB1927 is headed to the House floor.
HB1911 another CC bill, has 46 sponsors. TWO of those being Democrats. Comparing the the sponsors.... and giving totals. If they will at least vote for HB1927, that will give us a total of 2 democrats and 65 Republicans in favor of some form of CC.
Not quite yet a majority... but pretty dam close! One only needs to garner 9 more votes to win the House.
However, The Senate is another story. Unclear where that will go until Sen Springers CC bill makes it out of Committee.
I predict one of the house CC bills will get transmitted to the Senate before Springers bill makes it out of committee.
Honestly? I think they each wrote them differently, because they believed the policy and language in their bill to be better. Simple as that. I see nothing entitled or nefarious about any of their motives.

AMENDMENT II
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
AMENDMENT IV
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.:
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA V. HELLER, 554 U.S. 570 (2008),
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 infringe an individual's right to bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed.
18 U.S.C. § 922(g), is Unconstitutional. It violates Amendment II of the Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the United States of America.

I wrote my house rep today I will post back what he says
Politicians never change. They just become more proficient and move on to DC.I keep writing my reps and such and keep getting back essentially the same form letter comforting me that they are looking out after "us" as far as these things go. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
UP UP UP"So ya know, don't be a felon, don't do drugs, don't beat your partner..."
You can still beat the tuna though right?
So they aren't even answering on a specific topic? In this case, the topic would be CC/Permitless Carry?I keep writing my reps and such and keep getting back essentially the same form letter comforting me that they are looking out after "us" as far as these things go.
