Edgewater To Ban... Everything

[Doc45]

One more reason, as if needed, to stay out of that shit hole of a town.

Follow-up article on the meeting on the 19th.

A lot of people showed up, including Nephi Cole from the NSSF. He said he'd be happy to go over their plan point by point to clarify and explain things.

Most speakers were against this nonsense. The council said it wasn't as bad as people thought- there was a lot of misinformation out there.

The rats scatter when a light is shown upon them.

Glad some folks with brains showed up!

Used to be a good burger joint there, been gone for years. Is Edgewater Jeep still there?

<edit> Huh, looks like they moved to Canon City - bit of a drive.....

I sure you will all be shocked by this development in the Edgewater story.

"Emails obtained by Complete Colorado show an Edgewater City Councilwoman has been working on enacting local gun rights restrictions alongside other Colorado communities since late 2021 and worked in close partnership with anti-gun advocacy groups to present a decidedly one-sided presentation on gun violence to her fellow council members."

Hannah Gay Keao is a zealot.

"Tonight I, a Councilwoman with a uterus, listened & learned through our 3rd thoughtful convo on gun violence prevention in the community I was elected to serve, and was told that all legislation we were considering was chipping away at gun rights.

Truly."

Twitter, May 3rd.

A report on the May 3 meeting.

It looks like they pulled back all their restrictions except for open carry. Dave Kopel showed up and told them that that's probably a bad idea as well pending an eminent supreme court ruling.

It is great to see democracy in action. Holding elected officials responsible for their actions and having an open discussion about issues is the way it should be.

However, I can see Hannah Gay Keao and her backers using this as a springboard to launch her campaign for state level office. She will be able to point to her efforts here and claim that if she had just a little more power, she could really get things done.

She is one to keep an eye on, countering her offense as often as possible. Especially since she has the backing of Moms Demand Action. They have a lot of money and are determined to put anti-gun candidates into office.

We need these pro-gun subject matter experts attending the meetings here in Boulder and the Boulder County communities, plus Denver.

She received only 5% of campaign contributions from citizens of Edgewater. 61% of her contributions were from out-of-state and 4% were from DC. This was a common theme among all but one of the board members who ran in the 2021 election (even though all candidates ran uncontested, and were guaranteed a seat just by running). The contribution totals were ridiculously higher than in previous elections. This is bigger than just Edgewater.
