Magpul versus CO Legislation Thread

[crashdown]

When is the senate vote?
Is it expected to be any better?

[Cylinder Head]

Honestly that's way closer than I thought it would get. We may have a shot in the senate.

Good God, did you see that mag ban poll on the sidebar?
Just a tad biased.

I sent this to both the Assembly and the Senate Friday, a little long winded but my brief contacts have not been responded to other than vague non-committal form letters.

Dear Honorable Senators:

My family and I urge you in the strongest term possible to vote against any and all of the recently passed assembly bills that limit magazine capacity, call for universal background (registration) checks for private firearm sales, weapons bans and any and all other restrictive firearms legislation that comes before you for a vote.


These and other proposed laws to further restrict law abiding citizens are not going to stop criminals from committing crimes and will in fact create new criminals of your constituency as many will not comply with these unconstitutional laws and infringements upon their state and American guaranteed constitutional rights.


These proposed laws will also force businesses to close or move out of Colorado and cost hundreds, if not thousands of Coloradans their jobs. We the people have let you know that we are not in favor of these new restrictions on our freedoms and so far we are seeing that national party politics are being placed above the rights and freedoms of the People of Colorado.


To sum up, if you vote for these proposed laws you will:

• Infringe on our guaranteed constitutional inalienable rights under the Constitutions of The United States of America and the State of Colorado.
• Cost honest and hard working people in Colorado their jobs and cause unwarranted financial hardship on them and their families.
• Create further "Criminal Safe Zones" on our public school grounds by denying students to lawfully exercise their rights to self defense under current Colorado law.
• Place the People of Colorado at the mercy of criminals and embolden the criminal element within Colorado by limiting the People's ability to defend themselves and their families from the criminal predators that these laws will not affect in the slightest.

No good will come from passing these laws and to do so will only prove that you consider yourselves our masters and not the public servants of The People that you have sworn an oath to serve and this will not be tolerated by the People of Colorado.


Respectfully yours,


Wayne, Susan & Sheelagh Murphy
Ft. Collins, CO 80524

And look at all those lazy assholes (and pussies) who were absent or abstained during this vote. Gotta remember those names too.

All one of them ?

At least he didn't accuse them of voting alphabetically too.

Here are the Dems who voted against the bill:

Edward Vigil, Fort Garland, HD62
Leroy Garcia, Pueblo, HD46
Steve Lebsock, Thornton, HD34

Dems hold a majority in the Senate 20-15, so only 3 of them need to defect. IMO, the Senate is the last best shot to kill this bill.

Here's the email I got from Dianne Primavera today.

Thank you for your email.

Yup, that's it. No signature or anything else. How condescending. She voted for this bill and here is the email I will be sending in response to hers.

You did a terrible disservice to our state today by voting "Yes" on HB-1224. You also directly contradicted a promise you gave to your constituents when you campaigned for the office you now hold. I'll quote your website:

"Our focus this legislative session will be on jobs and the economy. The first bills introduced by the House Democrats will help Colorado businesses grow and will help Colorado workers gain the skills that they need to succeed in a 21st-century economy."

However, one of the first bills this session, HB-1224, is directly responsible for eliminating Colorado jobs and hundreds of millions in economy boosting revenue in the form of tax dollars and income for other Colorado businesses.

You DO NOT have this state's best interests in mind and I will keep my promise to do everything I can to have you removed from your seat by volunteering my time and money to your opponents when you are up for reelection. We will not forget.

Bye Bye Magpul.
