Perhaps we should get started...with a Constitutional Amendment to overturn anti-gun legislation

[MarkCO]

RMGO is too devisive to be a leader of a coalition which this requires. No legal reason, they would just be ineffective.

Sadly, I agree.

I wonder if they might be willing to offer contact, however. Even if only a mention in one of their mailings. Something to allow access, however minimal, to their existing infrastructure. Just a thought.

More than a thought. We would need RMGO to play nice with all the other boys and girls for this to have a real chance. If they have to lead or take their ball and go home, well, that is their choice, but it will hurt, and their members will certainly see it and not like it.

So who is going to the Capitol on Monday? I'm going to be there, and we need to make a stand.

A few additional thoughts specific to the veto referendum:

* The process requires a petition signed by at least 5% of the total number of votes cast for office of the Secretary of State in the previous general election. I am still looking for that total vote count so that I can determine exactly how many signatures would be required.

Going from the numbers here:

Looks like we would need 118,195 signatures.

As everyone may know, the current CO constitution states:

Section 13. Right to bear arms

The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons.

It would be great if it could be amended to be more like Louisiana's

The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms is fundamental and shall not be infringed. Any restriction on this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.

This defines how the court is the judge the right, so they don't use some silly "reasonableness" standard.

Is anyone else on "MeetUP"? This would be an easy way to get together a group and get mass notifications on meetings and various get-togethers organized.

We could call the group something like. "Concerned citizens for the overturn of Colorado Anti-Gun Legislation"

[Birddog1911]

Can you tell us more about MeetUp?

[Birddog1911]

10MM, is there a time, perhaps on Sunday, that would be a good time for some of us to get together? Trying to get out of work will be quite difficult for me.
