JCSO just lost 25 positions in the latest budget. Another side effect of the stagnant economy which is a side effect of electing too many Democrats to important positions at the state and national level. Redistribution of misery.

How is banning CCW from campuses making them more safe? How can they not know that none of these mass shootings had anything to do with concealed carry, and would probalby have LESS victims if a CCW was there to fight back. Idiots with heads in the sand.

My wife works at CU-Boulder. She is not a happy camper right now!

Actually, that was probably their original intent. They knew it would never pass as was, but if they start out saying, "We want to take away EVERYTHING" a lot of gun owners would not argue if only a quarter of the original restrictions passed, in the false belief that they somehow "won" on three quarters of the issues.

So glad they keep pushing the failed idea of "gun free" zones. I mean its a staggering disconnect of logic to think that gun free zones do anything when nearly every mass murder in recent US history has occurred in gun free zones. Its like trying to put out a fire by putting a sign up that says "Fire free zone" and hoping the fire will read the sign.

And if I'm reading this right magazines >10 rounds will not be grandfathered? Damn I seem to have lost all mine.

How many are there like him?

D - Mark Udall is like him too.

I don't think many politicians realize that there are quite a few Dems that will protect the 2nd amendment, nor do they understand that attacking it is political suicide.
The only way for them to figure it out is to tell them. But it's better to tell them now, then by voting them out AFTER the damage has been done. They may vote for the 2nd amendment, if their job depends on it!

Call your Senator, Reps and the Gov.
CALL THEM NOW!!

HUH??? WTF??? Where do they get their info:

BACKGROUND
INFO:
For far too long, gun owners, dealers and manufacturers have shifted responsibility for the damage caused by these guns to the families of the injured or murdered, our health care system, the state and ultimately the taxpayers. Any private benefit for a person to own such rifles is far outweighed by the additional danger they pose to the public.
SOLUTION:
With rights come responsibilities. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms, but does not absolve us of the responsibility that goes along with that right. While semi-automatic firearms account for less than two percent of the roughly 300 million guns in the United States, the consequences of their use are disproportionately devastating. Rather than approach the problem by banning particular types of weapons, this solution will marry the right with the responsibility, ensuring that those who put these guns on our streets pay the full cost imposed on our society.
The Assault Weapon Responsibility Act would:

Create strict civil liability for owners of firearms with the exception of handguns, bolt action rifles and shotguns.
Create strict civil liability on the transfer, sale, or manufacture of these firearms.
Remove Colorado statutes that exempt manufacturers, importers and dealers from their responsibility for the damages done by their products.

These libs are straight up retarded. NONE of this will reduce ANY crime! Honestly it will have the opposite effect. Call your reps folks!
