Colin Peterson (no big surprise) and Tim Walz (surprised he would). Both NRA backed.

Ellison and McCollum voted no _and_ walked out.

I'm a little surprised by Walz I didn't know he was owned by the NRA.

He's my rep, and around here going against the NRA is political suicide. Even liberals are NRA members, many don't understand how politicized the NRA has become.

Tim Walz had my support. It seems that after the first team they become more concerned with getting reelected Than being courageous.
