Colorado Democrats to roll out tougher gun proposals Tuesday

[husky390]

I already sent out letters to the House Speaker and my local rep. I read the briefs on the bills and the Senate Majority Leader is a lying sack. They are calling the Glock used in the Tucson shootings a Military Assault Weapon. I found this on FB posted by 630 KHOW.

A few decent quotes in that Denver Post article (for politicians anyway).

It's only a matter of time folks, whether this week or next year. Colorado has quickly become California's little sister and it makes me sick!

Add Sen. Cheri Jahn (D- Wheat Ridge) as potentially responsive to the cause.

Isn't there a federal law prohibiting liability lawsuits for gun manufacturers and distributors, assuming they have followed regulations?

Yes, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" that was signed into law by Bush in 2005. It holds manufacturers and sellers harmless if a firearm (that was lawfully transferred) is used in a criminal act or misused. Not sure if it covers an individual owner in case of theft etc.
One of the biggest opponents to the Act in 2005?
Then senator BHO.
Any way of finding out if he had it repealed?

If it still stands then what Morse proposed is a violation of Federal law.
Might not be a bad idea to mention that fact in your correspondence. The Fed does not take to states defying Federal Firearm laws kindly.
Time to burn up the email, phone, snail mail and fax lines.

This is lawmaking at its absolute worst. The fear-based proposals from the Dems, especially the liability features, are absolutely outrageous. Even more reason to keep the letter-writing campaign going to your representatives AND the governor, who does not seem to be behind the liability or AWB clauses.

Has anyone heard of whether RMGO might be holding rallies/protests?

so was our pot law that just passed. against fed law that is...

but really, fed law will not stop anyone that files suit. you still would have to spend $ to defend it in court. AFAIK you can't just not show up and win. so now imagine all these suits flying around how much will they siphon off of people. now throw in some well funded people think MAIG on steroids and the suits will start fluying. who cares if they cant win they can bleed you to death.

it is death by a thousand cuts to ban the selling of guns.

owner was on that list too... your 'registered' gun was stolen and used in a crime. well you are liable because it wasn't locked up... Oh it was in a safe? you are liable because it wasn't an approved safe.
