[Raul Duke]

Damnit. Well, at least we are still lubed up from the last f%cking.
...Oh, wait, that was a dry hump.

[Jer]

Yeah, I can't even listen to this anymore.

36-29 Passed. Fucked Again.

When would this actually go into effect if (when) it's passed?

July 1st.

And we get to pay for it. HB1228 passed 33-31.

Will it be a felony with a $5000 fine to sell a .22 rifle to a co-worker without a FFL transfer, like folks were claiming?

These are the types of questions that should have been asked BEFORE these became bills/laws. It amazes me how many people begin to care enough after it's too late. If we had enough people caring about our rights BEFORE they were opposed we would still have them.

So since they say we need to pay for a required action, isn't that a tax? Didn't the Supreme Court just approve Obamacare as a tax?

Wouldn't levying a new tax without voter approval constitute a violation of TABOR? (Grasping at straws here)

That was one of the many arguments against HB1228 - and rightfully so.
