GUNS IN SCHOOL BAN, ONE MORE TIME.
Demonstrating the single minded obsessiveness for which she has become so famous, Senator Ginny Burdick has introduced one more ban on licensed concealed handguns in schools.
As you know, her most recent attempt was Senate Bill 956. This bill was voted down in her own committee (Senate Judiciary) on April 21st.
Even anti-gun Senator Floyd Prozanski voted against this bill, apparently out of fear of the damage it would do to rural Democrats if it was voted on.
After that vote, Burdick attacked Prozanski in the press, and now she has introduced one more version of the "no protection for children" bill that has become her only reason to live.
This bill is not on the legislative website at the time of this writing, but we've included a link to it at the end of this e-mail.
It combines a ban on concealed carry in schools and on school buses, along with the "lock up your self defense" language Burdick and other anti-rights extremists have long sought.
In order to avoid another embarrassment like the failure of her last anti-gun bill, we have been informed that this bill will not be heard in her committee (which includes Prozanski) but will go to the Rules Committee. This has not been officially posted yet, and if it changes we will let you know.
The cosponsors of this bill are a veritable who's who of gun grabbers. They are:

Two of the sponsors of this bill are on the committee as well, Charlie Ringo and Frank Shields.
There are two pro-gun Senators on the Committee
Ted Ferrioli
[email protected]
503-986-1950
and
Jason Atkinson
[email protected]
503-986-1702
They will not have the votes to kill this bill should Brown decide to hear it.
This bill was introduced this morning and (it would seem) has already gotten a Committee assignment by Senate President Peter Courtney, who is clearly trying to fast track it.
This bill and info on it should be available on the legislative website tomorrow.
