Interesting. In Surovell's e-mail announcement, he refers to "gun control" - which is what the three of these legislators proposed this year - instead of "gun safety legislation" which they didn't.
He also lists immigration and the Governor's education proposals as topics.

Unfortunately, I had to miss it, as I'm in the stage of a cold that's very contagious. Is there going to be a transcript or recording available?
