4. RECESS. During which time I have to say

the Democrats, while offering some numbers, and while showing wider historical context of assault weapon murders, are still not good at rebuttal.

They don't have their rebuttal points down with past historical data to squash Republican arguments. They don't even properly call out and label all the Republican deflections and attacks by the usual attack dog Republicans -- Bishop on Jones; Jordan on the whole Democratic majority -- who they see derail this bill debate into partisan attacks.

If Republicans are going to waste time in derailing these debates with deflection and partisan attack on how the Dems are moving to remove the Second Amendment, actual voices of the public should be at the microphone, too; such public voices wouldn't be any more time wasting than the Republicans are.

Whether they pass this bill to the House floor for a vote or not, this committee meeting was disappointing. There could have been tighter planning and control of the above in advance of the arguments they knew were coming.

But they'll 'do something.'
