Let me guess, the committee is run by Democrats.

You guessed correctly.

The committee has nine members. Six D's and 3 R's (the Republican members, Humphrey, Leonard, and Williams are all very solid on gun issues).

For this committee they choose Dems from their most solid districts who are safe to vote as anti-liberty as they please with little or no repercussion come election time.

In the capitol it's known as the "kill committee".

Yep, the kill committee strikes again. People get upset when they talk excitedly about pro 2A legislation and I just shrug my shoulders. No point in getting exited when everything has to pass through this committee.
