For ripping Dudley a new one AFAIK.

I got banned for that.

Sent from my teepee using smoke signals.

You were working on a pointed argument when the rest of us were circling when we smelled blood in the water. No one blames you for getting banned while going in for the kill (well i guess someone must have). This however is satire. Thanks for the kind words guys, glad i got a giggle-snort out of it because i know i did when i was writing it.

Update on the lawsuit:

The Historic Colorado Sheriff's Gun Law Suit is Moving Ahead with Steam!


The trial date is finally arriving and our team of attorneys is excited and so are we Sheriffs and fellow plaintiffs. The trial, scheduled to last approximately 10 days, will begin March 31st. We are very excited that the governor's attempt to delay the trial until "late fall" failed. I wonder why he wanted to push the trial back to possibly after the general election? Regardless, our team of attorneys is doing an amazing job and working long hours. I want everyone to know the Colorado Sheriffs are still very engaged in this law suit to overturn 13-1224, the magazine ban/continuous possession law and 13-1229, the unreasonable over reaching background check laws, which have now shown to be totally and completely ineffective and still lack legal clarity. I am scheduled to testify early in the trial and as I said from day one, I will not waiver or back down. I said I would support the Constitutional Rights of my electors and my actions demonstrate that commitment. We have come a long way and we will see this to the end, as I have promised. Our team believes we will experience historic success with some recent developments, but I cannot go into those details. Additionally, as we have said all along, we are already preparing to take this to the Tenth Circuit of Appeals and beyond if necessary.


Even the California Courts, which are known to be very liberal, are seeing the light. There was a very good development in California recently. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a powerful opinion in favor of the right to carry. California law requires that a carry license applicant have “good cause.” Some California local governments interpreted “good cause” in a fair manner—so that exercising the constitutional right of self-defense was considered “good cause.” But in San Diego, and most of the other large cities, “good cause” was interpreted to mean “there must be a specific, identifiable threat.”


The Ninth Circuit ruled that law-abiding Americans have a right to carry, so San Diego can’t create a rule which makes a handgun carry permit impossible for 99% of Americans. There is a lot of good language in the Ninth Circuit case which will help in our case. If you want to read more about the case, our attorney, David Kopel wrote an awesome opinion for the Washington Post:

It was a little over a year ago, the Colorado Legislature rammed gun control agendas through the law making process and shut out citizens' input and ignored their rights. The media stood by the Legislature, and has to this very day. Through the hard work of citizens three of those tyrants are no longer in elected positions and their leader is now working for a "Bloombergish" organization that exists to methodically take away your rights. We can not afford to become apathetic and must stay focused on the future. Again we owe it to future generations, and the eyes of the nation are on Colorado. If we fail, other states will fall victim to these same tactics.


I want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to all of you for your unwavering support over the last year. We have worked hard and traveled the state to educate citizens and raise funding for this effort. Your support has kept those of us on the front line confident, strong and motivated.


IN CLOSING:
Following this trial, we need to focus on electing those that will remember who elected them. Many of the Sheriffs engaged in this law suit will be leaving office under term limits in January. Make sure you elect those that will continue our effort and stand strong for you and your rights. Furthermore, make sure you support those Sheriffs seeking other positions like Sheriff John Cooke of Weld County for Colorado State Senate, Sheriff Dave Weaver for Douglas County Commissioner and those they support to be their successors. Stand by those Sheriffs that are up for re-election like my good friend Sheriff Mike Ensminger in Teller County, Sheriff Jim Beicker in Fremont County and the many others around the State. In El Paso County, support the person I have endorsed as my successor, who is also my predecessor, Sheriff John Anderson.

After graduating from Arapahoe High School in Littleton, Krieger headed to Oregon, where she pursued a degree in international relations at Lewis and Clark College and graduated in just three years. She then attended the Ludwig Maximillian Planck Institute at the University of Munich, where she studied German law for a year as a graduate fellow. At the end of her graduate studies, Krieger returned to Colorado and enrolled at Colorado Law, earning her JD in 1979.

Not sure if it will be an emotional as much a political one.

Anything from the D political side is always turned into an emotional debate, turned over to media as an emotional calling to save the .....(insert the victim: children, minorities, women, gays, whales) and then voted on without the reflection of the people.
