Whenever he&#8217;d raise his hand to answer a question, he&#8217;d yell, &#8220;Oooh, oooh, ooh&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So it is with <a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2017\/12\/2018-house-races-democrats-hope-to-gain-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a story from Legal Insurrection regarding the 2018 House races<\/a>. It featured three races with Republican incumbents that are expected to be very close. The Republicans mentioned in the story are Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL), Rep. Mia Love (R-UT), and Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL).<\/p>\n<p>While I can&#8217;t speak to Mia Love&#8217;s race for re-election, I do have an answer &#8211; or at least a partial answer &#8211; as to why Roskam and Curbelo might be on the bubble. They <a href=\"http:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/evs\/2017\/roll663.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both voted against concealed carry reciprocity<\/a>. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/115th-congress\/house-bill\/3999\/text?r=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Curbelo is the sponsor of HR 3999<\/a> which would make it illegal &#8220;<i>to manufacture, possess, or transfer any part or combination of parts that is designed and functions to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but does not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun.<\/i>&#8221; The way the bill reads this would mean not just bumpstocks and binary triggers but stuff like Geissele or Timney triggers.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Roskam and Curbelo think playing to the gun control crowd will win them a few more Democrat or moderate Republican votes. I&#8217;d say it will also cause them to lose a lot more gun owners who might have provided them with the margin of victory.<\/p>\n<p>I know my friend and Polite Society Podcast co-host Gary Daugherty who lives in Roskam&#8217;s district is quite angry over Roskam&#8217;s vote against HR 38. Given Gary helps organize town halls for ISRA in his area of Illinois, this does not bode well for Roskam.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who were fans of the old TV show Welcome Back, Kotter, you will remember the character Arnold&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1278,1279,1280,1281,1282],"class_list":["post-543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-2018-house-elections","tag-legal-insurrection-blog","tag-rep-carlos-curbelo","tag-rep-peter-roskam","tag-welcome-back-kotter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=543"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11266,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543\/revisions\/11266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
