Man running "gun turn-in" in Pueblo is convicted felon, doesn't do BGCs, etc.

No one is supposed to be able to take, or restore your God given rights. This is just the crap we have allowed due to our apathy.

In Colorado a felon convicted here cannot get their gun rights restored without a Govenors pardon. Know several good people who have tried to get them restored to no avail. Especially when we have had Ritter and Poopinlicker back to back.

I know its not easy, and not certain of what it takes here (I grew up in MN) as I honestly find it much easier to keep my own house clean.

Well they updated the story and the DA in Pueblo apparently is fully supporting this illegal behavior. A deferred sentence on a felony conviction is not a disqualifier, so someone needs to clear that up with CBI. None of the elected officials in Pueblo seem to care. Another example of selective enforcement by an elected prosecutor.

No one I've spoken to in any Colorado law enforcement agencies seems to be inclined to do anything about this, so as long as the voters of Pueblo are fine with it, the activity will continue. SMH

I'm inclined to go meet him, offer my Hi point JHP (.45) as a trade in for outrageous amounts (like 2-3 cords of firewood for my widowed Mother-in-Law who's deceased husband was a veteran of the Navy... (all true, btw)), then accuse him of "being special privilege" when he wants to do anything without a BGC

"I struggled to do the paperwork to buy theese guns leegaaly, and you just want to throw that away? are yooos some kind of gang baanger?"

Who wants to come with me to film it?

So the Pueblo DA is telling us as long as we COULD pass a background check, we can safely ignore the background check law. Cool, good to know.

I think he's pretty much saying that as a buyer you can ignore the law, regardless of if you can pass a BGC or not.

Chostner said he supports the exchange even though it ignores the background check law. He points out that Arteaga isn't personally violating the law. Instead, it's the people selling the guns who could face prosecution.

They COULD make a case if they wanted to... it may be the seller that is breaking the law- but demand Arteaga provide the names of those sellers so they can be prosecuted... If he can't produce them, then charge him with accessory, aiding and abetting, or obstruction of justice.

it's obvious the DA doesn't want to make a case- it wins points for his political career?
