While watching re-runs of Pennsylvania's public TV coverage of the senate committee votes on the gun bills, I picked up some background audio I hadn't heard the first time.

It was right after the defeat of the second bill, the one that would have allowed pre-emption. They had just taken a rollcall vote, with each rep saying "yes" or "no" to passing the bill out of committee.

After the "no's" won the vote, there was some crosstalk while they sorted out what was next on the agenda.

You can hear, very clearly, a woman who believes that she is speaking privately to the representative next to her.

She said something to the effect of:

"It was defeated? Great. <sarcastically> I voted yes. I'm screwed. The NRA's going to come after me now."

Did anyone else happen to hear her? Any idea who it was?

I thought it was funny to see (hear) how shallow she was. From the inflection in her voice you could tell she really wanted to change her vote to a "no." Politicians... ugh.
 
People have gripes with the NRA - and some are legit. But this is the plus side of the NRA. You don't hear politicians lamenting "Pink Pistols is going to come get me now."
 
If I'm not mistaken, that was State Representative Kate Harper (R-61), one of two people, both R, who split their votes.

In both cases, they voted against letting PHL break state pre-emption, and in favor of 1 gun a month.

I was on the other side of the room at the time, so I did not hear her say it live. It was interesting to see it later on the news.
 
So it's not true that she said either "The NRA is the world's biggest gun control organization" or "Gun Owners of America is going to come after me now"?

My hearing must be bad.
 
Everyone on this board should send at least $10 to the NRA with instructions that the $$ be used to go after this person. I would be willing to send $25 and I don't live in PA.
