Bills in Colorado House to repeal gun laws enacted last year

I've been hearing about Repuplicans repealing gun bills all day today on the news, but they only ever mention being able to carry without a permit, EVEN AT SCHOOLS! (Check back at 11:00!)

I would love to see it happen but I'm not holding my breath.
The powers that be know that "gun control" is not going anywhere on a Federal level.
So they are going to push at a state level. Nanny Bloomingidiot and his ilk are going to be pouring resources into the fight.
We KNOW Hickenlooper is the poster child of spineless fucks and won't make a "unpopular" decision with his handlers.

In the words of Steven Tyler: "Dream On"

Well here is the thing. If it goes party line, we don't have the numbers. I believe Rep Holbert explained this pretty well in a post not too long ago. If anyone remembers the recalls last year though, that may be in the back of the mind of 2-3 dems that were on the fence when this crap got rammed through. If they change their mind now that they have seen how ridiculous these laws are then the tide has turned and it will end up on Hick's desk. I would bet he would veto it, but then he at least has to put his face on it again.

I would love to see both of these passed but I think the magazine restriction has the best chance of being overturned.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if a bill such as the above made it to Howdy Doodies desk.
1- Sign it
2- Veto it
3- Ignore it and let it become law quietly.



I will take door #3

That would be fine by me.

I expect Bloomberg will be putting a lot of pressure(and money) on his old pal Hickendicker to veto anything. To have any of these repealed would be a Huge blow to the anti crowd and they are going to pull out all the stops to make sure that doesn't happen.

Bloomberg will be putting the pressure on Hick. He is a gun control fellow traveler but he also knows that IF he signed legislation repealing gun control he would loose nothing politically at the local level (Colorado). Also, he might gain some support by doing so.

I wonder if he's looking at a political future beyond governor. Personally I don't think so. If he can persuaded (not pressured) that he looses nothing by repeal, it could happen. Persuasion not pressure might be a better tactic.

My $0.02.

Politics = I lend you $20 and you give me back $10 and say we're even, we both lost $10.

It will be time to start the email and phone campaigns again!
