There is Also talk that our now left leaning state government is talking about a state ban on semi automatic rifles, and bans on "high capacity" magazines.

so, I'm calling Hickenlooper, 303-866-2471

my state Senator, 303-866-2316

and representative, 303-866-2904

It's time We let them know, that if they even introduce these policies, We will clean out the state government during the next election.

I've been working more hours than I care to admit, until I got so sick I have been in a blanket hoping for death for the last 4 days. So, Yep, I've been way out of the loop.

What happens when you call? I've only emailed congresspeople, never called. Do you just leave a short message explaining your side of the issue, I couldn't someone actually answering. Guess I'll try...

Seems like everyone in Colorado is sick, including me. This is also the first year I got a flu shot, NEVER AGAIN! Normally only get sick for ONE, maybe two days, ONCE A YEAR, not two weeks! Feel like death, finally getting better so there's hope...

I have to be honest and say, that I would not have a problem paying for my own BG check. The problem I do have with it, is the fact that the money would never see any real help to keep the guns out of criminal hands. It would simply be another revenue source to pad their asses with.

The NRA made some good points about this approach; http://www.nraila.org/legislation/st...aspx?s=&st=&ps=

"CBI is 1 of only 12 states running this type of duplicative state check, as an overwhelming majority of states rely upon the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to clear purchases of firearms through licensed gun dealers. This duplicative and unnecessary program will cost taxpayers over $2 million this year, yet when tasked with responding to a higher than average demand of volume, CBI has failed to show its true value.

With NICS being used to conduct criminal records checks for purchasers of any modern firearm from a gun dealer in every state, state checks are obsolete and wasteful of scarce fiscal resources. Imposing a gun tax -- or a "user fee" on a constitutional right -- on firearm purchasers to subsidize an unnecessary and duplicative program is the wrong solution to this problem. If such program is a public safety measure, then the public as a whole should pay for it and not just law abiding gun owners. The better solution is to repeal the CBI checks and have firearms transfers subject only to NICS."

They tried to do it last year with HB1048. I dont see this passing this year.
