This is absolutely correct. It was a forgone conclusion that all of these would make it out of committee. Now is the time to hit them hard with letters, emails, faxes, etc.

I really thought that POS 196 would not get out of committee. The thought process was that no one is that Fvcking stupid. Wrong, 3/3 are exactly that fvcking stupid. I may be stupid also, but I still have hope that the mag ban, the liability and maybe even the backgrounds won&#39;t pass the senate. And the gall of the governor saying that 1) he isn&#39;t worried that his re-election bid would now be in jeopardy, and 2) that we are a fringe group and not representative of even the republican party. I have news for him. Not only are we representative of the republican party, but we are also made of those from other parties and his loss will be a big one because he has disenfranchised all republicans, most of the middle (libertarians), and even some dems. Another disgusted CO native.</p>

I don't think he is worried about running for governor next cycle because he will be running for president.

This is what happens when the Republicans that were voted in on party lines were so terrible that they got swept out themselves and completely lost control of the State. In short, you are correct.

Sheriff Justin Smith's Final post of the day:


It’s after 11 p.m. and I've finally gotten back home. Let me share some reflections from the marathon session at the state capital today.

First, I have to say how proud I am of all the citizens, many from my county, who showed up to be heard today. If you weren’t there, but read the news accounts, you were a victim of unbelievable deception. The media accounts paint a picture of essentially equal numbers of supporters for both sides. I was there- that was not the case. I’d estimate the opponents to be at least 6-8 times the number of supporters. Don’t be fooled!

I have never been more proud to be a Colorado Sheriff than I was today. Despite tremendous geographic and budgetary challenges, we had 25-30 Sheriffs or their representatives at the capital today. We were given very few opportunities to testify, but every time we did, 20-25 Sheriffs stood together in support. To the irritation of bill sponsors and the majority party, we received several rounds of applause throughout the day. We were truly honored to represent the constituents of our counties. Only one newscast mentioned our presence today, but then they quickly “balanced” it with a mention that the police chiefs supported the bills. (I counted 1 appointed police chief and the appointed director of CBI at the capital throughout the whole day)

In the end, the majority party chose time and time again to ignore our advice and input, just as they did everyone who spoke in opposition to these bad and dangerous bills.

Rest assured, your County Sheriffs are NOT giving up the fight to protect their citizens and the rights of those citizens. We understand our duty and we take our oaths seriously!

Good night
Sheriff Smith

Dang. Why can't all LEO's be like Smith....

I intend to ask the local Evergreen Jeffco Sherriffs' substation on what they feel about these bills...
