[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2516307, member: 9374"] One thing we've learned in the past is that it is one thing for our legislators to vote to pass something, and completely another to override the Governor's veto. We saw it a few years ago with Open Carry, when it passed and then-Gov. Brad "Damn The Constitution" Henry vetoed it... many legislators who voted to pass the bill then voted not to override Henry's veto. In doing so, they were able to continue to claim they were "pro-2A" by saying they voted for the OC bill, when in reality, they only reason they did was because it was "safe" - as everyone in the land knew Brad Henry would veto it. So they scored political points at little-to-no risk by voting for an issue they secretly wanted defeated, and let Henry take the political heat for it. I don't remember who all it was, but there was something like 11 or 13 traitors in that boat who voted for the bill, but switched their vote to no or abstain on the override attempt. [/QUOTE]
