Colorado sheriffs plan lawsuit challenging state gun control laws

[Zundfolge]

That could very well be a win-win. If it goes in our favor, good. If it doesn't, it'll put the issue in the forefront for the election.

...which is why we might see this decision made quickly, rather than near the election.

Agreed. If the result comes down right before the election, one way or the other, it puts the issue back in the forefront which can only harm Democrats.

The judge is a Bush era appointee, with a fairly conservative record. If she rules in our favor, the ruling may come sooner, if she decides that the laws are constitutional and otherwise valid, she may delay the ruling to advance party politics. Purely speculation on my part, and I'm probably talking out of my ass...

I could see us clearing house (of anti-gun Dems) even if it gets struck down in court.

How so?

[Uberjager]

How so?

Hopefully I'm not off my rocker, but it seems like the only reason we get the new gun laws was due to out of state pressure from Bloomberg, and it seems like the majority of people in state absolutely hate the new laws. I could see a majority of them getting the boot.

Best of both worlds.

We still have a pretty damn high Liberal voter population, they won't mind if the laws stay. And the likelihood of any governor repealing the laws is low, unless he want to get the bashing from MSM.

As much as I hate to admit it you are right. Unfortunately I just don't see these laws going away.

Disagree. I think IF a republican governor is elected and IF the house/senate go republican there is a very good chance they'll be repealed. If a republican house/senate sends a repeal bill to a republican governor's desk, it will get signed. But that's a lot of "ifs".

I'm worried that there has been an undocumented (as-of-yet) influx of liberal voters who relocated here following the passing of Amendment 64.... at the same time, I know a lot of conservative ones who are moving out...but that's just my small circle of observation/frame of reference talking, so hopefully I'm wrong.
