Did they have to use "ghost votes" to get this one? Last night they "revoted" a ban on .50 firearms. It initially failed 36 to 37. On the "revote", the RATS walked over to empty desks (missing assembly members) and voted yes. Major league fraud.

Arnold is anti-gun, so I expect him to sign the fraudulently passed bill.

Looks like it was another use of the "gut and amend" process, which has been controversial for years since it bypasses all of the public comment rights that are afforded by the operation of the committee process. (But since when do the Dems believe in hearing what we, the "ignorant public" have to say?) The Assembly's been standing by to receive this bill all afternoon.
