After much\u00a0sturm und drang<\/em>, Rep. Schoen brought “Rep. Norton’s” gun-grab “bills” (the “Exes are Guilty ’til Proven Innocent” and “Register All Law-Abiding Gun Owners” bills\u00a0were copied and pasted from the Bloomberg; they were no more “Norton’s” “bills” than they were mine) – to the House floor as amendments (the only way they had a shot at getting voted on, since the committee deadline for standalone bills passed weeks ago).<\/p>\n

Speaker Daudt ruled it out of order.<\/p>\n

As Andrew Rothman at GOCRA put it:<\/p>\n

In a routine and overwhelming vote, Rep. Schoen’s universal gun registration amendment was ruled out of order late last night.
\nAnd poof – the bills went away. \u00a0That’s it. \u00a0Done (except for “Protect” MN’s inevitable upcoming whining and posturing).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(More here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Results like this could be matters of routine\u00a0in\u00a0both\u00a0<\/em>chambers – if the MNGOP could win and hold majorities.<\/p>\n
