When asked on the sidelines how he was leaning, Longville rather blithely explained, I dont know. I'll vote which ever way the speaker tells me to." [2] "One by one La Suer dissected the claims of what was soon exposed as just another myopic gun ban pushed to center stage while the economy burned. At one point, La Suers growing disgust crossed its limit. The Assemblyman vehemently expressed his outrage that the time and resources of the state were being diverted from the economy to even consider such a blatant sham and he called on Koretz to pull the bill so they could get on with real work. Koretz simply smiled and refused, knowing the fix was in. His fellow Democrats on the committee seemed all-too eager to rubber-stamp the bill in spite of the facts." [3] "At the end of the day, partisan politics once again proved stronger than right or reason. Down the line the five Democrats on the committee cast their obligatory yes votes and AB50 moved one step closer to becoming law in California. Even staunch liberals in attendance were stunned. One woman leaving the proceeding stated, Im not a big fan of guns but right now Im ashamed to say those people are from my party. What are they thinking?" source: soon-to-be-published fcspi.org news item event: Apr ?29th? sham of a committee meeting CA assembly's committee on public safety
