It seems there was only three weeks to get any bill into the Judiciary committee this session. There are 3740 bills submitted for the 2012 session, about 80 of them are awaiting or have had a hearing in the House Judiciary committee. Blake is a sponsor of 182 bills, prime sponsor of 31 bills.
As much as we want a Representative or Senator push our favorite bill, they have to set priorities. Obviously the SBS/SBR bill was not the highest priority this session. Unless a bill is the favorite baby of a legislator, it takes lots of push from the residents.
The last time I saw a large push from the civilian side was when WA tried to ban assault weapons; over 200 people showed for the hearings. When the silencer bill was in committee, only a few people showed. We need to be as fanatical about promoting gun bills are we are about opposing the bills that seek to ban guns. So far that is not happening.
During the interim we need to contact our Representatives and ask them to co-sponsor the bill.
