Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown has come out against H.R. 822 in a letter to Mayor “Mumbles” Menino.
This isn’t a surprise. I wasn’t expecting him to vote in favor of the bill. His declared No vote isn’t likely to be enough to derail the bill in the Senate either. Both the antis and their media supporters continue to ignore the ’10 elections where a bunch of their allies lost. There should still be 60+ votes which is enough to prevent a filibuster when it comes to the floor.
Smith & Wesson moved Thompson Center down to Springfield
Mass.
Might have made more sense for S&W to join Thompson up in New Hampshire.
