One of the few things worse than an illogical lobbyist is an angry illogical lobbyist. Remember, these folks consider themselves to be "in the right", and they consider any means as justification to their "moral" ends.
These folks are stinkin' mad, and they will be yelling and screaming and lying at the top of their lungs.
I think one of our strongest points to use here is the fact that the full Senate AND the anti-gunners had no problem with this bill as it was originally written.
So we need to force the question to the front of the room, exactly what has changed? What about the many more people who are in just as much danger as those with protective orders, but who do not have the money, the time or knowledge sufficient to get one put in place? Are those lives not worth as much? If those with protective orders are worth protecting, the facts would dictate that there are many others who are in just as much danger, who also need protecting.
Also, the original bill was only protecting the information during the exact time that the order was in effect. What is to keep someone wishing to do harm from obtaining the information before the order is placed or after the order expires? Do they expect these folks to move at the expiration of each protective order?
