Hickenlooper to sign HB 1224

I searched for this, hopefully not a repost.

Clearly he didn't even bother to do some minimal research on the issue. I hope it doesn't make it to his desk.

“You put yourself in the shoes of that principal and resource officer running for their lives and trying to save the kids and what’s in their minds; and him just flipping around and he’s got a 30-shot clip. He’s got two 30-shot clips taped together,” Hickenlooper said. “You’ve got to think, ‘Is the convenience of someone at a target range not having to change their clip quite so often worth the risk to citizens and people in their neighborhoods?’

Come on 2014. If we can't do it then during the elections, I don't think we'll ever get it done.

CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP...

Wow, what a shock. It's passing, he's signing, I'm leaving & you would be smart to as well.

And after the next tragedy they can just cut out "30" and replace with "15". Then replace "15" with "5" and finally write a speech saying the second amendment is a threat to society.

What do you think the population of Dems will go down in a year? Time to bail.

[BuffCyclist]

Wow, so he's going to sign a bill to outlaw MAGAZINES yet still refers to them as CLIPS. Will SOMEONE please mail him one of each and point out the difference to that idiot?!

Sorry everyone, but make sure you give MagPul your support!

Got it. a 30 round magazine is dangerous. two 15 rounders taped together is the official government approved method of avoiding an "inconvenience"

2014 rolls in, time to kick them out of office. For now, we still have the senate to deal with.

Hopefully the senate is wise seeing as our economy is already going to suffer due to the sequestration.

The optimistic view in me: He is posturing saying he will sign it; but realizes that the Senate won't pass it allowing him to save face.

The realist view in me: We are screwed.

Get used to it my friend, the ass raping is just starting.

This is my thinking as well. The combination of the sequester cuts and losing so much manufacturing would hurt our economy more than pot tourism would help it. I am still troubled with the amount of money that Bloomberg is pumping into his cause and the arm-twisting that crazy uncle Joe is doing behind the scenes.

I'm worried the Dems on the fence in the Senate will now vote yes because he is supporting it.
