"Neguse was at the meeting that included two fathers who lost their sons to gun violence, state lawmakers who?ve taken on the gun lobby, and the Chair of the U.S. House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Congressman Mike Thompson of California."

No one pro-gun at the meeting.

"In fact, Democratic House Majority Leader Alec Garnett says look for more gun control in the state legislature in 2020, including bills to regulate 3-D guns, require safe storage of guns, and implement a waiting period for gun purchases."

These clowns are never going to stop until private ownership is impossible.

All guns are 3D... WTF are they trying to ban? If it means printed, just one more unenforceable law.

Safe storage? Fvck that. Dont tell me how to store inanimate objects in my house. They want me to buy a safe? Cough up the funding, I dont have cash for that garbage.

Waiting periods? Need to round up women who were victimized while waiting to testify.

Tough time to be without a functional state-level 2A advocacy organization.

tougher still when the republican party in your state is owned by the chamber of commerce and outside political influence.
useless sellouts from Candy Gardner on down.
the democrats have NO opposition.

I am not smartassing you but explain this. I am not knowledgeable enough about state politics.
Which CoC and how?

[RobertJordan]

This is related. We have no voice to ramp up pressure within the party. There are some good models to emulate like VCDL, but we can't get our acts together. We own this, not the Republican Party.

Will be more attempts to try and 1 up California on their stupid laws.

CSSF

You mean CSSA? They aren't a lobbying group, and they unfortunately aren't that effective at what they are supposed to be doing, which is administering competitive shooting around the state. I think there's potential there, but current leadership is turning over and they don't have the bandwidth to deal with this. We're flying blind when it comes to having a proper advocacy group in this state.

My bad , it is cssa. IMO really doesn't matter the D's have CO locked up as a solid anti-gun state. They're betting bloomberg will throw a few million their way, to get the job done. Might as well stock up or look for a new state to relocate to.

So far, the Dims have succeeded in making laws that are generally unpopular and only observed in the Denver area. These laws have cost a couple politicians their jobs. I think for many people, gun rights are a non-issue as is enforcement/compliance with these laws. Until the Dims get more local sheriffs/CLEOs on board that's all it will be. I think the most relevant outcome of these laws is an echo chamber for the Dims to congratulate each other on. As Great Kazoo stated, the Ds are advancing (or proposing) this for financial reasons. Guns are low hanging fruit for the uninformed. I don't mean to belittle or underestimate the threat. It's out there. A functional state level advocacy group would be a great asset. The comparison with California is a good one. Once you get east of the mountains that separate the coast from the rest of the country things change.

By referring to office holders and their constituents as Dims, you belittle them and make any argument you have less valid.

LOL

Don't wet your pants.

The (D) and a goodly number of (R) are the enemies of freedom and liberty. They deserve every invective levied upon them.

These "people" aren't going to change my mind and I'm certainly not going to change theirs, the time for that passed by long, long ago.

I actually agree with this.

That crosses a line? When the Dems accuse us of wanting to kill children, starve people, put people in cages, and generally kill them by taking with their healthcare- that’s all kosher; but to call someone a Dim, that’s over the line?

[izzy]

I don't think it crossed a "line" but it does make points feel less valid to me. Once someone starts calling the object of their argument silly names I personally feel it takes away from the point they're trying to make.
