    Colorado Democrats pushing for assault weapons ban face uphill climb to Polis' desk

    The measure may not have enough support from Democrats.

    DENVER — The long-awaited bill to ban so-called "assault weapons" surfaced in the House late Friday afternoon — and has already lost a key supporter, raising questions about the viability of its path to the governor's desk.

    Rep. Andrew Boesenecker, D-Fort Collins, was listed as a first prime sponsor in previous drafts, but his name is no longer on House Bill 1230, which is sponsored by Rep. Elisabeth Epps, D-Denver and Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora.

    The measure may not have enough support from Democrats, including by some leaders on this issue, and the measure is in danger of dividing the Democratic Gun Violence Prevention Caucus.

    Thoughts?

    And the media saying it may not have enough support is to lower the heat too. Make people have false hope so they don't get so fired up, then it passes with full support anyway.

They have the votes to do whatever they want, and there is no way to vote them out. The Democrat (marxist) ruling party leadership in this state will decide how much and when.
