Unfortunately, proper understanding and use of English grammar is not a requirement to hold public office, or, apparently, be in the news industry...Even with computer assists....

Yes, I am responsible for the misquote and it should have been 'murderers' not 'murders', it's my mistake.

Correct.

The point about manufacturers, distributers and dealers did come up at about 2 hours and 36 minutes into the hearing.

Committee member Andrew Clyde (R-Ga), a 2nd amendment supporter, questions Ms. Sampson on the point and she claims manufacturers are quite capable of addressing the problem if they wanted to do so. It's paintful to hear Ms. Sampson address this point.

News reports said the House was supposed to vote on the measure Friday (today) but now say the matter has been "punted" to next week by Pelosi.

Accurate or not I have no idea, only that some of the news said that. Wonder if next week some other more "urgent" matter will result in delaying the vote again....??

want to bet they'll keep pushing it back, until there is another murder done with an "assault weapon", and then they'll vote within a day, or possibly three??

Update:

News now says they voted and it passed 217-213 in the House.
