Colorado House and Senate statement

[sako55]

This is nothing more than the criminalizing of political opposition. This is really nothing new as our history books used to be full of examples of these very acts.

I thought this was useful info from Morse's FB page

"I would like to remind the Senator of just how close his election was in 2010: Less than 1% margin, with a 3rd party candidate taking 4.5% of the vote.
It would take only 3363 petition signatures in his district to start recall proceedings should you continue to propose violating the rights of law-abiding citizens of Colorado."

That would number of signature should be very attainable in a short amount of time.

1228 - Payment For Background Checks For Gun Transfers

what the hell does paying for a background check have to do with this clause?

SECTION 2. Safety clause.

The general assembly hereby finds,determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.

BECAUSE everyone who owns a gun is running around with their heads cut off. TRYING to buy guns, ammo & components. Peace of Mind, health (i know i'm having heart issues) Safety, It's for the EYEdITS camping over night at SW concerned about them getting frostbite or something.
Ironic, you have maybe 1/2- a dozen folks in a parking lot overnight and not One criminal act committed.

My letter:

I have read Bills 1224, 1226, 1228, 1229. I am against these draconian measures. These bills would do nothing to prevent crime or lunatics from endangering others. These are not about gun control; these bills are about controlling people. Anyone supporting these measures is supporting the agenda of the Democratic Party Leadership and not the interests of the law abiding citizens of Colorado.

I find it particularly disgusting that Bill 1224 targets at least one Colorado Company (Magpul) and hundreds of Colorado jobs. Not to mention the personal property and protection rights guarantied by the United States Constitution.

Bill 1226 strips Colorado Citizens of the right to protect themselves on State owned college campuses. I am currently attending UCD on the GI Bill. I served 22 years in the USMC and I am a Disabled Vet. I get a average of 3 campus alert messages a week for robberies, sexual assaults and other crimes. The US Supreme Court ruled in "Heller" "the State (a governing body) that prohibits citizens from protecting themselves is legally and criminally liable for injury or loss of life." Armed security is not a defense.

It's nice to know that after 22 years of service to my country, I retired to find the rights I fought for are stripped from me.

How will you vote?

Unfortunately, that POS Morse's district extends from Manitou Springs SE through Old Colorado City and then eastward to Powers Blvd. Still ... 4000 signatures ought to be doable if the petition is framed right. The grievance should clearly stated and restricted to his support for these unconscionable, immoral and unconstitutional propositions.

That's one powerful letter. I hope it makes them squirm.

Anyone interested in meeting up in Greenwood Village for a thinktank/powwow, please look for the thread entitled,
"For those interested in recalling some [insert cussing here]" and let's figure out a time and date to get this thing rolling. Thanks!

I get those alerts as well. I'll be damned if I'm going to leave my gun at home while I have to walk a mile to my car twice a week at night on that campus.
