Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I'd buy a few receivers...AR and maybe AK if you're into rolling your own. Maybe some of the stripped lower pistol frames.
I'm tellin' ya... The relocating thing is apparently on a lot of people's minds. I just saw something on a news channel that for the first time in...maybe forever...people are leaving CO in droves. Most cited the political climate and congestion as the reasons.

It's definitely on my mind lately. I've been here 12 years and never thought I would leave, but this BS is getting out of hand.Originally Posted by Bailey Guns
That was/is me. Moved to CO in ‘95 and thought it was my forever state. Miss the state but not the BS.

I agree. I lived there in the 70s for a few years, then moved back in 89 when I got out of the Air Force. Lived there till 2015. I moved for a lot of reasons, leftist politics just being one of them.
But living in a solidly red state...that's getting even more red...is a true blessing.
There was a special election in Oklahoma today asking if recreational MJ should be legal (medical MJ is already legal). It's apparently going to be defeated...soundly...by a nearly 2 to 1 margin. That makes me happy. I'm not necessarily against MJ, but I've seen the unintended consequences of it being legal in other states and, on balance, it's enough to make me against making it legal.
And on the gun front we have at least one sheriff that's promised to arrest federal agents if they attempt to enforce federal rules against bump stocks, braces, etc...unless the person arrested is committing some other gun crime.

I would just write the State Senator of your district expressing your views. I remember having a few politicians being recalled over this ploy to bring unconstitutional legislation. Defeatism is not on my agenda.
Per Ardua ad Astra
Yep... 2 were recalled. BFD. How's that working out for you now? I'll tell you how. It's not. Nobody on the left cares...obviously. Since those two were recalled 6 or 7 years ago...whenever it was...Colorado has moved further and further to the left. And it ain't stopping any time soon.
Defeatism isn't on your agenda. Whatever. Nobody on the left cares about your agenda. They care about theirs. And their agenda is winning in Colorado...and they're doing a good job of it.

I happened to be working from home yesterday afternoon. reading emails...
McDevitt had a "Sue the truckers" commercial on and about foreign truck drivers.... but I learned something from the commercial... Our roads are filled in dangerous and unlicensed foreign truck drivers..... FROM RUSSIA!! Did not know that is where we are getting truck drivers from...
A friend of mine is a long time truck driver. He says that most of the new hires are Russian, Indian (dot, not feather), and Central American, all with foreign credentials(hinky is the word he used) that are being accepted to apply for CDLs by the state. Provisional CDLs are being issued with no verifiable training.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Also lots of immigrants from various African countries, based on my skewed view of the drivers I see in the ER after they crash.
Funny.. working construction though I will say that there is definitely a contingent of Eastern Europeans here and there on job sites. There is a group of guys that I see on job sites now and then that pull the wire for fire systems, those guys are from Russia and Ukraine and you never see them without a cigarette in their mouth.. Not sure how they manage to get by doing that on commercial job sites. Up in Aspen there were Russians working in the trades everywhere, Brits made a pretty good showing as well.
