The house passed the protective order bill. They plan on continuing tomorrow.

....and,so it begins.

It was only the House Judiciary committee that passed it. There is still a chance to stop it. Otherwise we are on the way to be West New Jersey.

Yep and a basis for granting an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) is that the individual recently purchased a firearm. That's right, the exercise of a constitutional right is a basis to GRANT an ERPO and deny you, your inviolate right to bear arms. Let that sink in for a bit.

Not every bill gets a vote. There are four potential outcomes:
The bill is approved as submitted and sent to the full House or Senate for consideration.
The bill is amended, usually to hasten passage or as part of a compromise, and sent to the full House or Senate for consideration.
The bill is tabled or set aside, rendering it inactive.
The bill is voted down or never reported from committee, nullifying it.
Approved bills go immediately to the chamber of origin’s Appropriations Committee, where a fiscal note is prepared to detail the financial impact of the legislation. Bills in this committee face the same four outcomes, as noted above.

A bill must clear many hurdles before it becomes a law. After committee approval, the House or Senate, where the measure is being debated, must consider the bill on three separate days before voting. On the first day, the bill is read on the chamber floor to alert members that the committee has reported the bill as originally introduced or amended. No amendments are offered, no debate is held and no votes are taken. Amendments to the bill may be offered on the second or third reading, after which a vote can be taken. All legislators who are present in the chamber must vote on the bill; abstentions are not allowed.

If the bill is approved by the full chamber, it is sent to the other chamber for consideration, where it must run through an identical committee structure and voting process. For example, a House bill that wins committee approval and is passed by the full House then moves to the Senate. The appropriate Senate committees must approve the measure and send it to the full Senate for voting. If the Senate changes the bill, it must go back to the House for concurrence in those changes. Identical versions of the bill must be passed by both the House and Senate before it can be sent to the Governor, who can sign it into law or veto it. A bill also can become law if it is sent to the Governor, and he fails to sign it or veto it before a prescribed deadline.

The whole process can takes months. Bills not enacted during the two-year session must be reintroduced the following session and run through the same process again from the beginning.

I've supported these people in NJ. Write to their legislature, supported their cause because we're all in this fight together. Now the stupid ass mockery on their part as if they're happy... Freaking morons. Sorry to be like that, but not sorry.
