Talked to several Senators today. It was productive..
It looks like we have 2 Dem Senators who will vote against 1224. We only need 3 to defeat any bill.
We spoke to another 6 or 7 and I think there is a pretty good chance we can get at least 1 or 2 to vote with us on 1224. I can't say who those are but the lists of Senators a couple pages back is a good one to use:
I agree that this one is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
Is there any chance we can at least get it amended to read "for the purpose of" rather than "while engaged in" hunting, target shooting, etc?
That's one of the worst aspects of this bill, and is the one that's gonna ensnare people who didn't even realize they broke the law. It's absolutely ridiculous that I wouldn't be able to lend my buddy a rifle to deal with a coyote problem or go hunting with someone else without doing 2 background checks.
