Support your local Sheriff at the Capitol

[brand4]

I don't have much experience in this sort of thing, however, I thought it was a good showing. Thanks to everyone who showed up.

This is a picture of Colorado County Sheriffs Association literally standing up for our 2nd Amendment rights. The testimony against the background check bill was presented by 2 county sheriffs with all the other sheriffs standing in solidarity, a DU law scholar, a Columbine survivor, the NRA, RMGO and some other high profile expert witnesses. I am looking forward to seeing this on the local news. After the pro bill testimony was done some of the stations left the room, I guess they had more breaking news to cover.

The problems with the legislation was explained to the Senators by a law professor and all the county sheriffs that the bill is "unenforceable". The wording and scope make the bill illegal to allow anyone to even handle "transfer" another persons weapon without a background check in both directions. Mr. Brown from RMGO explained that it was against Colorado law.
I thanked my county sheriff when I was at the capitol. This might be a good time to send some thank you emails to support your local sheriff.

When Weld County Sheriff John Cooke was done speaking all but 2 people in attendance cheered and applauded.

FYI the Senate president doesn't like it when you do that, we couldn't hear her use the gavel because the clapping was so loud.

This is not over so don't assume your lettters and calls are all for not. Keep in mind that most of these congress members are just starting their political careers they will need support later on. You may consider getting in touch with them and let them know how you feel even if you are not in their district.

I've thanked Sheriff Smith multiple times as well as Sheriff Cook. Those two men have my utmost respect.

Does anyone know if Doug Darr was present?

I'm guessing that my county's sherrif is in favor of the bills.

This is crazy, I saw all sheriffs or maybe 99% in our side but anyway this is not important for the 3 democrat senators that pass all bills.

The Shriffs of Colorado are right on guys! I have NEW respecvt for them and so much distrust, anger, disbelief in democrats who just vote along party lines, after all of the professional testimony was put forth by our side. They are children working in an adult world. They never grew up. Everything is peaches and cream for them. They cannot and will not listen to intelligence. They won't have none of it because it doesn't fit into their rosy little world and how they feel things should be. Where every one gets a ribbon for participation. and the best and brightest sit in wonderment about their utmost stupidity and wonder why they even tried to be so good.

Hats off to the Sheriff's of Colorado and to all the supporters of our free state and country Good will prevail and evil will fail.

I now feel my contributions to the sheriff's have paid off. What a stand up organization and everyone should sign up with some level of support.

County Sheriff's Of Colorado - Link

With overwhelming members signing up and showing that their presence yesterday was acknowledged and appreciated, they will continue to fight for our constitutional rights.

Edit: Mod's can you move the link to the first post? I didn't want to start another "Support the Sheriff's" thread. Thanks.
