Dead on, Woodsie. Herron thought he could kiss up to the NFIB, otherwise known as the National Federation of Republican Business, and the Chamber of Commerce without any blowback. He got caught, and now he's trying to lie his way out of it. That's two strikes. He's a sellout and a liar.
He lost a lot of Democratic votes, including mine, by sponsoring guns in bars. In my mind, this finishes his campaign.

Stick a fork in Roy 4 Guv. He be done.
If anyone had asked anyone in the House and Senate or any lobbyists, they would have found out that Roy is the single most dishonest member of the General Assembly.
If Roy will lie about this, what else is he lying about?
I'm disgusted. I like Roy Herron but this is awful. I may be more disgusted by the guns in bars sponsorship than check off. Wait! Wow, which is more craven? Hard to know. It is a conundrum, though, as Woodsie points out. What do other pols do in this sticky position? Casually go to the potty during the vote? Where are Kimmie and the Carman on check off, guns in bars and playgrounds? And finally WHY is the fucking NRA so powerful?
You know, Stellabardo, you hit on a point that I had not caught. This vote is just another in Herron's pattern of pandering to Republican special interests, namely the NRA and the NFIB. If he wants to run for the Republican nomination, go run in the Republican Primary.
BTW, McMillan and Cammack both publicly announced their opposition to guns in bars.
