You have to understand who owns the press in this state.
The reporting is decidedly liberal as long as they can get away with it whether it is regarding our second amendment rights or any other of their agenda items.
For instance, there was a bill that would force counties and municipalities...
This is embarrassing. It did get stripped. It was attended on the Floor, apparantly without objection so there was no roll call vote on that amendment.
Sorry for making such a foolish entry into the pool.
If they did it in a committee, then you're right but I know there was no recorded Floor vote and the only published versions show it still in there. The guys in Social Circle believe it's still there as well.
It absolutely did pass in both the House and the Senate.
It has not been signed by the Governor.
If it is not vetoed by the Governor it will go into effect on July 1, 2013.
There has been no indication that he would do anything but sign the bill.
The suppressor bill was attached to HB155 and passed both bodies and is waiting for the Governor to sign:
