Let's change it back.

The lawsuit outweighs abortion, gay marriage, and host of other things because a successful lawsuit will grant rights to ALL citizens, not just a few, select groups.

I can guarantee you one thing, weed related car accidents are going to kill way more people this year then "high capacity assault weapons"..

One could argue that the desire for 30rd mags only affects a few select groups. Those who would make that argument are almost guaranteed to be FUDDs and people who don't own and don't care to own an AR or AK style firearm.

CBI did 355,000 background checks last year.
Colorado has 5,268,000 citizens

14.83% of Coloradans bought guns last year, assuming each gun went to a different person (and we know from people on here that they didn't). We can also assume that not all of those guns, though most likely greater than half, would be AR and AK-types. That means 7.4% of Coloradans.

Now who's the few, select groups?

Of the 5,268,00, how many are over 21 years of age? And how many pro gun folk actually purchase a gun every year?

Well, big surprise, but my math works out a little different than yours. By my calculations 100% of Colorado citizens have had their constitutional protections diminished by the gov't of Colorado and these laws, whether 100% recognize it or not.

"...shall not be infringed."

well the supreme shot it down.

The "sheriff" lawsuit? Wasn't it in the process of getting appealed by the circuit court?


Are there any ballot initiatives in the works for a future election?
