Colorado sheriffs plan lawsuit challenging state gun control laws

[Uberjager]

There was a weak attempt at a ballot initiative last year. It failed as the supporters didn't get enough signatures to put it on the ballot. Leaving them at gun shops in the hopes their employees will advocate for it and obtain your needed signatures is weak. You need a dedicated group of people from all over the state to collect signatures. That does mean standing in front of places and talking to people, not leaving a clipboard on a counter and hoping people will read it.

I didn't even hear about it last time around, until it was too late.

What all would we want on our ballot initiative?

Obviously the mag thing...

There was a sign on Lincoln about 2 miles east of I25 that said something along the lines of "Help repeal the Mag ban" but not much else to let you know what it was for. I remember going to the website and not being able to do anything with it. Really wanted to get involved with it but the organization didn't prove to be too promising. We need to get all those recall people involved with this one. I know I would do something to help if there was something promising in the works. Doesn't the NRA have some organization skill/powers they can lend a hand with?

Anyone heard anything about the judges ruling?

Just read in an article on Fox news about hickendooper's apology backfire stating she ruled the sheriffs could not sue while in office.

Sheriff Joy Hoy of Eagle County refused to join the lawsuit. He was the subject of a RMGO email. He is about as Republican as Pat Sullivan was - very anti-gun. Well he lost in yesterday's primary to James van Beek. Mr. van Beek's views on 2A and the sheriff's lawsuit are unknown.

Good news! It seems the elections were promising in terms of a backlash through voting.

Judge upheld the gun laws

"DENVER — A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit aimed at overturning Colorado’s new gun laws, upholding the expansion of background checks on private gun sales and transfers and the ban on magazines of more than 15 rounds." http://kdvr.com/2014/06/26/judge-upholds-colorados-gun-laws-tosses-lawsuit/

Yep, heard about that. Did you join just to post this?

Not surprised. The real fight is at the appellate level and above.
