That's gonna make the Legislature mad

Actually they'll probably pass a bill anyway just to be dicks about it.

Yes I have some advice for the guy who came within 2 and a half points in a state that hasn't had a race within 10 points in generations: ya done hosed up. I know about winning elections since I lost to a mop with a “Democrat for Governor” sign stapled to it.

This is the loving exemplar of lovely reporting surrounding merely filed bills. This is the third session this bill has been filed, not counting specials. Guess how far it gets. Every LEO group vehemently opposes it.

But here it's framed as imminent.

Unlicensed carry (open and concealed) is legal in Arizona, but I moved to TX a long time ago so not sure if it's been a big deal since it became law or not.

Probably not because it's just a sop to the fractional number of people who think that carrying a gun on your hip in modern society is good.

can you define "viable" several dems who aren't constantly sucking likud's dick have been elected to congress

"Beto O’Rourke, a freshman Democrat from El Paso, also voted against the funding. “I tried to find him on the floor, but I couldn’t,” Moran said. “I wanted him to switch his vote. Now, he might not have switched it anyway, because—as shocking as it may be—he’s in Congress solely to do what he considers to be the right thing. I’m afraid he may have a tough race in November.” The morning after the vote, O’Rourke e-mailed a local AIPAC activist, Stuart Schwartz, to explain his vote, according to a knowledgeable person. In his explanation, which he also posted on Facebook, he pointed out that he had voted for Iron Dome in the past, and had supported the funds that were scheduled to arrive in October. But, he wrote, “I could not in good conscience vote for borrowing $225 million more to send to Israel, without debate and without discussion, in the midst of a war that has cost more than a thousand civilian lives already, too many of them children.” Within hours, O’Rourke was flooded with e-mails, texts, and calls. The next day, the El Paso Times ran a front-page story with the headline “O’ROURKE VOTE DRAWS CRITICISM.” In the story, Stuart Schwartz, who is described as having donated a thousand dollars to O’Rourke’s previous campaign, commented that O’Rourke “chooses to side with the rocket launchers and terror tunnel builders.” A mass e-mail circulated, reading “The Following Is Shameful, El Paso Has an Anti-Israel Congressman. . . . Do Not Reëlect Beto O’Rourke.” At the bottom was the address of AIPAC’s Web site, and a snippet of text: “AIPAC is directly responsible for the overwhelming support this legislation received on the Hill. If you are not a member of AIPAC, I strongly recommend that you join. Every dollar helps fund this important work in Congress.”" Source

Polite tweets saying "We met with this guy and we agree that Israel is important" isn't the same as "SETTLEMENTS IS GOOD"

Ted Cruz also went after him for taking J Street money, which is majorly anti Bibi. If he's sucking any Israeli political party's dick it's Kadima's (J Street also backed AOC)
