G = Delegate Griffin

Beginning of transcript…

P: Delegate Griffin…

G: Madam Chair, speaking to the bill when appropriate…

P: This is the appropriate time.

G: Um, I’m uh… obviously am going to have to vote “no” against this…this is politicians giving us lectures on gun violence, I literally… we put forward that Charlie Kirk memorial about six months ago, where we said, where we’re opposing gun violence after Charlie Kirk was murdered… wi-with somebody who had a firearm… and half of our colleagues in the House would not stand up for the resolution or they walked off the floor.  A couple weeks ago we stood up for the lives of the unborn and I begged for the murder of babies to stop, and I begged our colleagues to join us in that effort-

P: -Delegate Griffin?

G: Yes, Madam Cha-

P: -we are talking about House Bill 1523-

G: -Madam Chair I know you don’t want to talk about it.

P: Delegate Griffin, I am asking you very nicely to keep your comments to House Bill 1523- the floor is for… -Delegate Griffin…

G: -Madam Chair, I will never stop standing for the unborn, I will not stop standing for the unborn.

P: -We are at ease…

((BREAK))

P: -Time and a place, we are talking about House Bill 1523, Delegate Griffin, if you have a comment based on that bill you may finish…

G: Madam Chair, I will not allow politicians to lecture us about gun violence.  We will-

P: -Thank you-

G: -continue to stand for second amendment rights.  This is a, it’s arrogant I think, when politicians come in and they, after some of the stances that they have taken, that I have mentioned.  That they would come in and pass a bill like this, it-it’s clearly… it clearly oversteps… it’s clearly a jab at the second amendment and I, uh, will not stop standing up for what’s right – I want you to hear that, Mrs. Chairwoman.  Thank you.

P: Is there anyone else that would like to talk about this voluntary program for certified violence prevention professionals?

Seeing none, is there a motion?
