You know, I emailed my senator (Margaret O'Brien) about this a couple of times, saying she should urge Meek to get the bill moving. All I got back was the usual form letter containing political BS about balancing "protecting our children and the rights" of gun owners, and then describing what the bills do. I already knew what the bills did. That's why we, the people, want them passed!
We don't care if legislators "think" (I, for one, wonder if they really "think" at all) this is right time for something. Just do it! If it fails, we'll try again. If it doesn't, we got what we wanted.
