New Quinnipiac University poll of Colorado voters.

Since my son is an Arapahoe High School student, I am very glad to read that Colorado voters support 50-45% allowing teachers and school officials to carry guns at school. Big gender gap, but there should be alot of support for House Bill HB14-1157, which would permit teachers and school staff who are conceal carry permit holders to carry in schools, subject to local and school policies.

It will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee, but a hearing date has not been set yet.

This is as likely to pass as Constitutional Carry with all the dirty libs....

MSM tactic. Polls are usually answered by two side of the extreme, once this news got spread out to average Liberals ears, they will rush to vote no, and the other side will be relaxed and not vote as much.

Defeated in committee on party lines. I know, we're all shocked.

Testimony against this bill, reported by the above article, is a rebroadcast of the same emotional crap we saw from the dems last year: wild assumptions like "this would make things more dangerous" and "distract from the learning environment" and "could lead to more injuries and fatalities" with zero empirical evidence to support any of it.

Facts don't matter, feelings do.

Actually there's plenty of empirical evidence that the ONLY thing that stops spree shooters is the presence of armed resistance.

• Adam Lanza ... murdered children until the men with guns showed up, then he offed himself.
• Three days earlier, a shooter at Clackamas Town Center Mall in Clackamas OR starts shooting, killing two innocent people. CCWer steps out from behind pillar with Glock 22 drawn but doesn't have clear shot so he ducks back behind cover and a second later he hears the shooter kill himself.
• Matthew Murray shoots up a YWAM office in Denver with no resistance, comes down to Colorado Springs and kills a couple of girls in the parking lot at New Life Church, when he enters the building he is confronted by Jeane Assam and the instant he takes rounds in his direction he goes down on one knee and eats his own gun.
• Harris and Klebold ran around Columbine unchallenged but the instant they realized that armed resistance had arrived they stopped murdering innocents and turned their guns on each other.

Mass shooters have a common psychology, they're engaged in living out a fantasy where they're a God-like figure walking around unopposed slaying "sheep" left and right and the INSTANT these monsters are confronted with armed resistance the fantasy bubble bursts and 99 times out or 100 their NEXT ACTION is suicide.

Almost all mass shootings in the last half century have ended with the shooter committing suicide. "More guns on the scene" almost always trigger said suicide, so its clear to me that good people with guns will always save lives.

While I appreciate the Republicans in office bringing these bills up, we can guarantee every last one of them will be killed in committee. The legacy of electing too many progressives will be with us until at least this November.... if we are lucky.

And to be surprised that those elected officials in Denver (and Washington DC) ignore the will of the people is asinine. The time to take our Republic back has come

The more time they spend killing good stuff, the less time the have to create bullshit like last year
