10. I see two erroneous statements by Mrs. Watts in that article.

1. She claims that the back ground checks bill was blocked from getting a full vote, when in fact, that's not the case, the full Senate did vote on it and it didn't reach the 60 vote threshold to prevent a filibuster.

2. She claims that because of her group, Starbucks has changed it's open carry policy within their stores, when in fact, Starbucks asks it's customers not to open carry, but they won't ask anyone to leave or refuse to serve them.

Otherwise, I agree with her, back ground checks on all firearms is a good goal to work for.
