Caught On Live Mic: Iowa GOPer Refers To GOP Gun Law As ‘The Crazy, Give-A-Handgun-To-A-Schizophrenic Bill’

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/03/11/iowa-republican-gun-law-crazy/

In a “snafu” on the House floor yesterday, House Speaker Pro Tem Jeff Kaugmann (R) was caught privately acknowledging the danger of the bill while speaking near a microphone he thought was off, but was in fact turned on:

REP. STEVE LUKAN (R): The Alaska bill – what’s the Alaska bill? <...>

KAUFMAN: The crazy, give-a-handgun-to-a-schizophrenic bill.

AIDE OFF CAMERA: His microphone is on.

2. A pretty bad misrepresentation of that law and quite an insulting unofficial "title".

3. GOP State Reps CAUGHT On LIVE MIC: Dubs NRA-Backed Legislation ' Give A Handgun To A Schizophrenic '

DES MOINES - During a delay for a point of order in debate on H.F. 525 to restrict collective bargaining, House Republicans were caught off guard by a live microphone discussing House Study Bill 219 which would allow Iowans to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

He bills himself bipartisan yet always votes the party line.
