Call to action!!! House Bill 1009, House Bill 1049, House Bill 1050

You'd be amazed by how many gun people smoke weed. That generalization is why the GOP is losing ground with every election.

I'm not stupid enough to assume that only hippies smoke up, but the casual users aren't the ones who are willing to move to an entirely different state, or change their voting habits, just to have access to legal weed.

Are there republicans who smoke? Sure.

But in the grand scheme of things, on a cultural and political level, they are fundamentally meaningless because they're not part of dominant weed culture.

In that regard, they're no different than the hardcore leftist who owns a gun and claims to get the 2nd Amendment, but continues to vote for Democrats because they like socialized healthcare or gay rights.

Sure they own a gun, but they're deluded if they think that makes them a part of gun culture.

This thread has taken a serious detour. Weed has been endlessly debated in this forum.

I don't smoke weed. I do shoot guns for fun. I don't want those that smoke weed to stop if they are only hurting or helping themselves. What I don't want is their opinion on my guns either through direct action or voting for those that do. I don't think that they know better.

Your problem is that you separate 'pot heads' and 'gun owners' and your assumption is careless and more inaccurate than you realize. The point is that our 'group' is so fast to alienate everyone who isn't a 50 year old white male who has never even received a speeding ticket that our little 'group' has found itself on the outside looking in. The idea is freedom as long as it's freedom for the things WE do. That's idiotic and isn't really freedom at all. No wonder we get ZERO support from anyone who isn't a 50 year old white male.

Freedom is freedom.

Agreed. I don't know why there are so many curmudgeons who insist on bringing it up at every opportunity to further make our side look bad.

Umm… where, exactly, is the problem? ;-)

I thank God that we do, KAPA.

I do, but all those houses on the north side and Castle Rock are being filled with more and more liberals. My point is, reps in Denver aren't listening to outsiders unless I thow Bloomberg style cash at them.
