Wow, finally got to bang out a post. It was good to meet some INGOers (GFGT and son, Brother Bill 3, Bill of Rights, TLex in the hall). Kirk was there? He must've been in disguise. It is always good to hear Guy lay out the pro-2A side of the issue. Also good to have an NRA rep on the scene.
A few thoughts:
Charlie Brown earned that NRA "F". Probably more like a G or an H. Did not seem to grasp the difference of owning and carrying. Vanessa Summers same-same, she's batty.
Rep Lucas got in digs for Constitutional Carry, "2A is the only right that requires a license".
The domestic violence/anti-HB1071 type would disarm all victims as well as everyone else. Peggy Mayfield smoked her with a well directed question. When Rep Lehman (??) asked her what her example had to do with the bill (3 times) her answers had nothing to do with anything.
The PhD/law professor from B-town (appropriately): interspersed BS (you can't carry a gun a work, women with guns will just get killed with them). About as pleasant as a root canal. Jim Lucas stomped on her towards the end.
Rep Smaltz is one of us. This is going to be a long fight. I think Brother Bill said we're the 3 percenters, the antis are 10% and we're fighting over the 87% that don't care about a lot.
We'll just keep plugging away and drag the 87% to our side.
