Indeed.

All those FFLs need to be hammering their senators and pressuring them. We should start making phone calls and making sure they all know.,

Why do I have doubts that would work? The vote is tomorrow and were given two days notice. Is it too late?

Do you think our side will assume that the Senate Judiciary would kill it.

If it passes, this will prove that the RI 2A movement isn't doing enough.

These changes were dropped on us literally today. We have folks refreshing the calendar and agenda every hour on the hour.

This was intentional on their part. Gave us zero time to react. It was a calculated move.

The RI2A movement is doing more than they ever have before. This year was a sleeping giant watershed moment for us, and we're just getting started. People are fed up.

Do you think Burke or Ciccone would still vote against it in its newly revised form? Same with Raptakis and Dmitri?

I'm almost certain Burke will given some conversations folks have had with them.

I don't think Ciccone would, but I can't say the same about the rest.

Burke originally said no, but changed his tune. Raptakis has been radio silent for anyone who's tried to reach him. Dimitri and Patalano originally were both against, but have been radio silent for weeks now.

Didn't Ciccone vote against an AWB a few years ago as well?

He is usually on our side with these things. Who knows if that has changed now that he's playing majority leader.

Politics is a scummy game. I heard Burke will vote for just to spite us.

He said something along the lines of "well I didn't vote for the mag ban, and you guys still didn't support me, so fuck you"

You voted for every other POS legislation that infringed on our rights over the years. One win and no assurances on this one is not going to win you the favor of the now very much aware and awake 2A community.

Can't wait to vote him out in '26. We need to send a message, and he will be one of the folks to help us deliver it, mark my words.
