The bad guys are pulling out all the stops to make Colorado into the newest Criminal Safe Zone, I woke up this morning and found this in my inbox:

Below is an email from Bruce Hoppe, a MoveOn member in Windsor, CO, who created a petition on SignOn.org, the nonprofit site that allows anyone to start their own online petition. If you have concerns or feedback about this petition, click here.

Dear Colorado MoveOn member,
Even though I have hunted and fished all my life, I believe that something needs to be done about the proliferation of private arms ownership, which has created a serious public health and safety problem. As drivers, we accept the responsibility for carrying liability insurance. Background checks and limitations on large-capacity ammunition magazines are comparable. We should support these pieces of legislation when they come up for a vote next week.
That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org to the Colorado Legislature, and Governor John Hickenlooper, which says:
Support HB 1224, which prohibits large-capacity ammunition magazines and HB 1229, which requires background checks for gun transfers.
Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
Thanks!
