HB279 was involuntarily deferred with no objections from the supposedly pro-gun committe members. What a joke. Rep. Lopinto is a wuss as the chairman. The rep from the sheriffs association stated that sheriffs do not deny law abiding louisiana citizens their right to possess firearms. Again, what a bunch of bull. Where was the LSA? I question whether this organization is pro gun. This is a very fundamental issue regarding the right to purchase these firearms. And, yet silence from LSA.

The pro-NFA points and testimony was weak. But, that being said; you must wait to see if it was a pre-determined torpedo job. Meaning, was this bill dead before this D&P Show was even acted out. Personally, I hope so! because if this issue was so important to the pro-NFA community; you sure as **** couldn't tell by the people in the audience.
I may have missed it, but I didn't even hear them announce the number of green cards and red cards.

Agiain, where was the LSA.
The LSA is totally committed to the promotion and protection of legitimate firearms owners’ constitutionally-guaranteed right to own, bear, and use firearms for the protection of home and family, sport hunting, target shooting, and any other lawful purpose. The LSA has a full-time, registered lobbyist at the state capital, who monitors firearms-related legislation. The officers of the LSA routinely testify at the state capital on behalf of the citizens of Louisiana, and are consuted by legislatures for support of key bills and initiatives.
This position statement is a farce...

As long as you purchase fundraiser tickets from the right rank, then you can get your papers signed. That is REALLY what the rep meant to say. Sheriffs do not want to lose that fundraising power involved with certain permits and paperwork.
I love that the LSA is thrown under the bus as a FIRST REACTION. The bill was involuntarily pulled. No one could speak for or against it. Want to complain? Complain to your sheriff. Want to throw stones at people that put in thousands of hours *FOR FREE* to further rights in this state? By all means keep it up. I took off two days this past week to be in committee hearings. I apologize for needing to occasionally work.
Feel free to run for the board and spend all YOUR time in committee hearings.
Before you do that, perhaps acquaint yourself with the situation a little better. If the LSA isn't pro-gun enough for you, get in there and be somebody rather than bitching on the internet.

Watching Terry Landry and Barbara "DO YOU KNOW" Norton get off topic and waste taxpayers time was painful! It’s always amazing and disconcerting to see so many poorly informed yet opinionated individuals tasked with creating law. I dislike politics, but I HATE ignorant politicians more!

With all due respect sir, I was only stating a fact that was based on years of experience. Now what I said about the rep is based on conjecture. If that was taken as an insult, then I do apologize for it.
I believe they know better, but feign ignorance.

Many, if not all of us are passionate about our rights. Let’s not fight between our selves. Emotions run high at times like these. Let’s keep our focus on the subject and hold each other up to continue the fight.

I think you give them too much credit!

Were you there? If not, you have zero grounds to complain.
LSA arranged for Derek Howard of Big Boy Armament and Joe Meaux of Red Jacket to attend and testify. LSA also had its lobbyist there.
If the issue is important to you, take the time to take off from work and go to the capital. It it isn't that important to you, why should your opinion be given any weight?
Dan
I personally have full confidence I could not add to any legal arguments with Dan,ted,paul, as well as the two persons selected for comment representing us. I would also want to thank you guys for taking the time... I believe you have our best interests in mind, even though we may be out gunned..
Wonder if met7881 will be back after this. People should find out the facts before they open their mouths.
Unfortunately I could not be there. My Grandfather passed away this week and I am with family settling matters. I do however have full faith in the decisions made by the LSA when it comes to lobbying, lining up testimonies, and general representation of my firearm interests at the state level. I, unlike met7881, am WELL aware of the back braking, head racking, nerve raveling, and sometimes ungrateful work that Dan and the rest of us do on a daily basis on behalf of gun owners in this state.....voluntarily!
I doubt it as people who have an axe to grind AND who know not of what they speak simultaneously rarely suffer insight and humility.
The LSA and friends have been with this bill every step of the way. I suppose in today's world we have to apologize for being an all volunteer force who could "only" field three qualified people to speak - even if they were not given the chance
I was watching it on Committee-cam. I have some questions about that meeting if any of you that were there can shed some light?!?
I know it was the last agenda item, but:
The audience (pro or con), was VERY thin; did they sequester attendees?
I didn't hear them read the totals of Green (For), or Red (Against), cards. Did I miss that?
Was it pre-determined to allow the Committee to defer the measure (which essentially kills it), or was it pulled by the Legislator and allowed to die?
Did some of the committee members that may have been FOR the measure vacate their chairs (so they wouldn't miss their free lunch that day), before the measure came up?
I think what is confusing to some, is how the anti-EVERYTHING guns (those usual 4 dummies), were able to control the tempo and then ultimately sack the measure. Usually, if you have a majority that were for the measure to clear the Committee that wouldn't happen.
