In the early 1980's Northham could have been forced to conceed merely on the fact

IT IS HUNTING SEASON


In my day if you tried to get a plumber during HUNTING SEASON you were shit out of luck and had to pay twice. (when is it? pretty much all winter?)

The governor can be accused of designing the "vote and discussion" to be held on freezing days during hunting season - exactly when gun owners do not want their time donated to democrat bullshit.
