[FIREFIGHTER7248]

It's just the beginning of the end!  You all had better buy a @@@@ good slingshot and stockpile all the rocks you can before they ban and outlaw rocks next!

The following is a link to a spreadsheet showing the most recent information that I have regarding how each Representative will vote.
Ones marked with a * are assumed because of their position as a bill sponsor or by observations of their conduct at hearings etc.

Please try to get your rep to send you an e-mail regarding their position. Have your friends in other districts do the same.
If they will not respond to you, have someone else send them a simple e-mail asking if they are for or against the bill.
Reps will often not respond regarding issues when they do not agree with you.

If you can't deal with Excell, the following link will get you the PDF version:

I will add other bills as time permits.
Please post your reps position or PM it to me so that it can be added to the spreadsheet.


1). It's not over until the bill becomes law
2). If it does, we will make it clear that they will loose their jobs next election

Good spreadsheet, pretty sure M. Mulroney is a NO..

Talked to Blevins before leaving Legislative Hall yesterday, she said she did not think it would pass.
Although she received a grade of "C" from nrapva.  So maybe it was smoke being blown up my ___.

Because Andria Bennett voted no against HB 35, it may be fair to assume, she will vote no here.

I nnderstand Lopez said he would vote no but he voted yea on background checks

I nnderstand Lopez said he would vote no but he voted yea on background checks

Background checks was low hanging fruit. While any infringement is a travesty, background checks from a political perspective is the least serious.

Once this session is over, I'll use the spreadsheet to calculate an "Infringement Score" that we can use during the next election.
Will include their vote on background checks as well as the other bills.

Rep Jaques said he plans to vote no on HB 58.

 Speaker Schwartzkopf lectured us on carefully reading the bill before we sent an email (make sure that you do). He cited the emails about .22 mags being banned but the tubular mags are not banned in the bill. Someone before me directly responded to him in his 2 minutes that the most popular 22 rifle is the Ruger 10/22 that can accept a mag that would be banned. I almost applauded.

The problem with Mitchell's bill is that it seeks to reduce the severity of incidents rather than preventing them. Inhibiting the sheepdogs by limiting mag sizes is wrong approach. Mitchell, who is a retired LEO, said he would "consider" exempting CCDWs. Retired LEOs are exempt; why not retired military?

Thanks for putting that together, and keeping it updated groundgrid.
Maybe also add a colum for "R" or "D".

...and change the top to HB 58, not 67.  That's the School Safety zone bill that passed committee last week.  Another one I would like to see fail.

More emails with results:
William Carson - NO
Rebecca Walker - NO

Still waiting responses from more.
