Splitting out discussion on this apart from the other threads.
I find it interesting to note that one of the bills cited as a part of "the deal," (HB 1386 Firearms shows; voluntary background checks by Department of State Police. - Lingamfelter), was, according to LIS, filed on January 22nd - nearly a WEEK before the announcement was made.
This was also well before SB 175 Concealed handgun permits; sharing of information. - Stuart, passed the full Senate with what appears to be a veto-proof margin. Remember, last year, McAuliffe vetoed a very similar bill, citing the safety of out-of-state police officers. (Never minding of course that permit holders are more law abiding than non-permit holders!)
Methinks there has been quite a bit of back-room collusion going on here - and for quite some time!
