Well, it is special session day here at T-Rex Arms. Again, welcome back to another T-Rex talk, and we had hoped that we would be done by now.

0:19.7

The Senate, as we talked about in previous

0:21.6

live streams, really limited the scope of what they were trying to do in the special session,

0:25.7

and they had planned. They had actually gotten their adjournment procedure on their schedule

0:32.5

for 11 o'clock this morning, but instead at 11 o'clock this morning, they met and they changed it to Monday.

0:39.9

So this thing is running at least until Monday. So there's good news and bad news in that.

1:40.7

live stream yesterday. We had a tremendous amount of bad gun bills proposed by

1:47.2

people. A hundred bills were filed for special session, which was supposed to last for four days.

1:54.1

Obviously, you're not going to listen to all of those bills in four days. Obviously, you're going to

1:57.9

table a bunch of them and you're going to try to pass them and just get through the special session really quickly. But what has happened is the protesters have gotten

2:08.2

a lot of media attention. Fortunately, I would say that the actual legislators are listening

2:13.3
