Bills to repeal new background checks, magazine limits fail

A GOP measure to eliminate a law that bans ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds was also rejected by ruling House Democrats. Both gun-control laws were part of a package of legislation Democrats passed in 2013 at great political cost, losing two state senators through recall elections. A third resigned while a recall campaign was underway.

A Democrat-led House committee voted 7-4 against repealing the requirement that private gun sales conducted online and in person be subjected to a criminal background check. The same committee voted 6-5 to reject the bill to get rid of the state's ammunition magazine limit.

What irritates me is the lazy journalism that repeats the recall losses but fail to mention that the Governor survived a recall and the two legislators won re-election in the very next election cycle.

A politician CAN buck the NRA and survive.

Support a gun violence group of your choice any way you can, donate, volunteer, write/call your legislator.
