“No one needs an assault rifle,”

Are we discussing the Bill of Needs or the Bill of Rights?

This is purposefully being done to initiate a revolt by law abiding citizens.

I think you're right , but the politicians better know that We The People know were they live when the balloon goes up.

This “dog and pony show” clearly backs the statement: “In all cases, with government regulators, any mention of a “need” for a bill or regulation WILL EVENTUALLY PASS. No exceptions.

This rule applies from the lowest form of a local town’s politicians up to the highest U.S. courts. IT NEVER FAILS!

Stop and think. Has anyone ever heard of a “suggestion” that the government (on all levels) needs to do that eventually was not turned into a regulation or law? I certainly have not.

Sometimes it takes years to happen, but you can bet the farm on it that it will happen.

If we had a supreme court without hand picked toadies of Obama every one of these gun laws would be unconstitutional.

The relocated Kalifornia moonbats are getting their way.

Coming to more states near you, and perhaps your own.

Montana will be next. Or Wyoming.

Small population states that rich Californians flee to, and take over.

What happened? Maybe a lot of Californians moved there.

This doesn’t sound like something real western men would do.

I live in Maryland and we are fighting hard, but we have 51 gun bill coming up to try to defeat.

We lost to the queers when they passed same sex marriage,and the same queer lovers who voted for that will probably vote against gun owners.

It’s a hard row to hoe.

“I hear that some think universal background checks is a burden. I’d like to speak directly to them,” said Dougherty, who lives in Littleton.

“A burden is hearing about a mass shooting in Connecticut, working with your family through the chaos to coinfirm it is your sister’s school; a burden is getting a call from your niece: ‘we lost her.’

“A burden is everything that comes after this horrific news, explaining a mass shooting to your 10 year old son.”

“A background check is not a burden. It will save lives,” Dougherty told the committee. “Maybe even your family’s.”

Spoken like a nitwit whose never been treated as guilty until proven innocent. I’ve got something I’d like to tell him, directly to his face (no, it’s not a fist).

Thanks, RandallFlagg.

It was amazing to see.

I didn't see the crowd size outside, but inside the capitol building, hundreds upon hundreds of pro-2nd Amendment people lined up and crowded into rooms listening to testimony.

Most of us had signed up to testify, but since Morse scheduled debate on all 7 bills for the same day, and limited the discussion to 90 minutes each side/each bill, it was impossible for anyone to hear all of the debate, and most of us didn't get the chance to testify.

And Dudley Brown, the executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, the state’s most strident gun rights group, was gaveled out of order by the committee chair after threatening to financially support whoever runs against Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Adams County, who voted in favor of the ban.

Ulibarri badgered Dudley Brown after his testimony to admit that RMGO had financially supported the two Republican members of the committee (is this a surprise?). Brown eventually shot back that "Yes, I will give money to your opposition".

Earlier in the day, Ulibarri bristled at the suggestion that the dem senators had been receiving pressure from the federal government (Obama and/or "Shotgun" Joe Biden). They wouldn't deny it, they just acted offended at the suggestion.

Very disappointed, but not really surprised that the bills were passed out of committee.

The biggest disappointment was in hearing the financial and employment impact of Magpul leaving the state. The dems are more concerned about forwarding Obama's enslaving agenda than about the lives and livelihoods of the people they supposedly represent.

They (democrats) probably didn't want it to go as long as the other bills did in committee (Like SB 13-009 did)
Click the link to see how that went (I was there, too).

AND, it's a rat tactic to make it SEEM like the pro and against folks were evenly divided.
Which we all know is a load of BS.

OH! And I called Ulibarri’s office last week.
I told him that gun owners are the good guys, and invited him to the range so he could shoot my many pistols. Told him that I’d pay the range fee and ammo costs, too.
I knew he’d never respond. Oh, well.

He’s up for election soon in my district, and I will make it WELL KNOWN what he did yesterday.

My beloved New Mexico is circling the drain. Hopefully Wyoming and Montana will resist the Californication of their states.

Every beautiful place in the US, that is fit to live, seems to have an sudden influx, first of New Agers, then Liberals from a ruined state, then a homo invasion.

You need to get out more often. Don’t you realize that public discussion before a bill is passed is absolutely worthless? The deal has already been made and public discussion is simply a ploy to fool the public into thinking they have some type of input into the decision being made. You fell for it and so did everyone there who came to speak.

I can think of no instance in my lifetime that a public discussion taking place immediately before a bill was passed accomplished anything. When it reaches that point, it’s all a “dog and pony show” for the public to see just how wonderful it was to let the public air their grievances before a bill (or regulation) that had already been approved by all on the staff (or council) before they even entered the room. The vote simply occurred after the serfs, proles or unwashed (whichever you choose) got to “blow off some steam” and accomplished nothing.

That’s the way government works. However, that’s not taught in our schools...it’s taught in the school of hard knocks.

Colorado is going to be full of good felons. As opposed to bad felons.
