“Despite protests, 6 of 7 Democratic gun control bills clear Colo. Senate committees…”

I’m surprised that any Freeper would be shocked by this.
Colorado is a “blue state” now.
What this -really- indicates is just HOW “blue” that state has become. It looks like there will be “no goin’ back” in Colorado.

The blue states are currently engaged in a race amongst themselves, with the goal being just how many Second Amendment rights can be restricted and taken away.

Don’t expect the DC government to intervene — because it may in fact be the driving force behind this putsch.

Conservatives must realize that they have no future in Colorado or in states like it. These states are on the verge of becoming the “new-slave states” insofar as respect for the tradtitional rights of those within are involved.

Their only option is to get on board “the freedom train” and GET OUT of the blue states, into those red states where it seems that (at least for now) the traditional, Constitutional rights of Americans will be protected.

Looks like the Colorado/Wyoming line could actually represent a new kind of “Mason-Dixon” line in the coming struggle for American freedom….

I know just how you feel. Utah or Wyoming at least are close by, and they both have better economies.

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

With all due respect, you’re going to lose that one and lose badly.

Maryland is near the top of the heap for being “the bluest of the blue”.

The gun-grab legislation has passed one house of the MD legislature.
The governor says he’ll sign.
The other house is overwhelmingly ‘rat.

Who’s going to win there?

What are the chances the Governor will sign this?

What are the chances there will be political fallout?

Californians have invaded Colorado and they did Oregon and as New Yorkers destroyed New Jersey, New Hampshire and Vermont and are working on Florida.

America IS NOT LOST.

Negative commentary is destructive to our cause.

Soldiers in wars past were NOT made discouraged by their commanders as they engaged in a war with their enemy. Soldiers going into battle were NOT told that “all is lost”, but get your azz out there and fight.

We the People do understand what we are up against. Understand it and get up and get out and fight it in any way you can. Join forces with like minded people, i.e. www.oathkeepers.org, and share ideas and plans, strategy, in confidence, their organization making this all possible by the contacts you will make in your area of like minded people who believe as you do. Join Tea Party groups like Tea Party Patriots, as one example, and work together with them to search for and support true Conservative candidates for the elections. Support them in any way you can and be there when they need your presence.

Be the FREEDOM FIGHTER OF TODAY. Google freedom fighter and learn who they were, what they did in wars past, and how they did it. It will be up to us to refuse, delay, obstruct, sabotage obozo’s attempts to destroy the Constitution, our liberty, freedom, RIGHTS.

EVERYONE: STOP THE NEGATIVE COMMENTARY. Less talk, more action. Learn what you can from FR and other sources, and then get out there and JOIN UP! with other like minded people and put your energies into a POSITIVE effort....WIN this damn war. Be POSITIVE, NOT negative.

It happened because four rich democRATS made it a priority to turn it dem by getting the cities to out vote the countryside.

That’s How Fidel Cuomo and the democRATS get elected in NY,

These laws are about pushing conservatives out of colorado.

The liability law is preempted by federal law. They know this.

They don’t want conservatives, republican etc. in colorado. Only zombie and low information democrats are allowed.

California part deux.

This is so wretched. Colorado was one of the most "western" of states, and among the most beautiful. I lived there from the 2nd through 6th grade.

It's a damn shame. I was born, raised and spent the first 34 years of my life in Colorado. A decade ago I relocated to Florida, courtesy of Uncle Sam. Now when I return home to visit, I barely recognize the place --or the people anymore.

With the exception of the People's Republic of Denver and Boulder, Colorado always had strong libertarian leanings. They may have liked their weed but they liked their guns too. I hope there's a serious voter backlash and the liberals who rammed this crap through the legislature so fast it left heads spinning soon find themselves unemployed.

YOU GO, MARYLAND!!! You are brave and true Patriots in a state enveloped by the socialists, and you ARE FIGHTERS!!

LISTEN UP EVERYONE: Listen to those freedom fighters in Maryland, in Illinois, in Missouri, in upstate New York,etc.
THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN ARE F-I-G-H-T-I-NG AGAINST SOCIALIST POLITICIANS. They ARE standing their ground and they will not play nice with the left...by any and all means. They are applying Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals AGAINST the left by any and all means. Turn the tables on these basta*ds. I don’t have the link, but during the Albany, NY anti-gun rally recently, obozo’s SEIU thugs were set to be bussed up to Albany, NY to show force for anti-gun control. Well, God bless the men and women of upstate NY, they gathered together over 6,000 men and women and were set to attend this rally IN SUPPORT OF THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO OWN AND BEAR ARMS. And they were going to do it PEACEFULLY, using the tactics of socialist Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals AGAINST THESE SEIU THUGS. The ideas they had on how to do this were BRILLANT. The end result was that Cuomo called off the SEIU thugs and the pro-gun rally went of without a hitch. THE LEFT BACKED DOWN because Cuono feared violence would erupt because of the huge number of PATRIOTS who would be coming to the rally. I will post the link to this particular article on FR, and I apologize for not having in in hand b/4 writing this post.

READ THE ARTICLE, LEARN THE TACTICS AND APPLY THEM. STOP WITH THE NEGATIVE COMMENTARY, AND BE FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHO FIGHT. The link to the Albany, NY article will follow.

May God bless us all in this fight for OUR LIVES!

That is everywhere. Rich Demcrats and the DNC are coluding to make only city votes count in elections.

Proportionate voting by county would kill off the democrat party.

There is no doubt the Governor will sign it, but that doesn’t end it. We will have a referendum on it, and with the help of God will beat it yet.

You fell for it and so did everyone there who came to speak.

I guess I'll sit behind my keyboard and whine from now on, then.

THIS IS THE POST I WAS REFERRING TO WHERE ALBANY, NY NRA/PATRIOTS STOPPED CUOMO/SEIU THUGS FROM STAGING A ANTI-GUN RALLY BECAUSE CUOMO FEARED THE LARGE NUMBER OF PRO-GUN PATRIOTS MIGHT CAUSE VIOLENCE TO BREAK OUT, THOUGH THE SEIU THUGS ARE KNOWN FOR VIOLENCE..LEARN HOW THESE PATRIOTS PLANNED TO USE SAUL ALINSKY'S RULES FOR RADICALS AGAINST CUOMO/SEIU THUGS AND THEY WON!

http://www.freerepublic.com/f-news/2990659/posts “Is this even legal? OBAMA to bus people in to protest NRA in Albany. (This is a big deal)

Read the article, particularly post#22, and apply what you learn. C’mon, Colorado, work smart, join up with like-minded people like the www.NRA.com, www.oathkeepers.org and the Tea Party groups, i.e. Tea Party Patriots. Learn how to turn the tables on the left, refuse, delay, obstruct, sabotage the left in any way you can. You ARE the freedom fighters of this war...organize, and be brave and fight...let the example of other socialist-oppressed states be your guide. GO, COLORADO, GO!

Many, many years ago while I was young and naive, I was extremely active in local, state and national politics and government. As time went on and I was present in many public meetings ranging from local to state level, I started to notice that no matter what the populace stood for against an unfair or unlawful regulation or bill that was before the council or presenters of said bill or reg, the measure ALWAYS PASSED without fail.

In some rare cases the bills or regulations were compromised to appease some of the protesters but in all cases once again, the next time it was presented (and in all cases they are presented for as many times as needed to guarantee passage.....and they do! It never failed to do so.

Standing with others in a meeting whining about the rule, regulation or law simply is foolish for the reasons presented above.

GO OUTSIDE AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC as to the damage to our freedoms and quality of life these politicians are causing. SPEND YOUR TIME TRYING TO GET THEM VOTED OUT OF OFFICE, not just standing and let them subconsciously laugh at you for being such a fool as to believe that public forum or meeting designed to appease the crowds before the bill they protest is voted into law regardless.

The older I got, the wiser I got and attacking the individual is the only way to affect change...not standing there complaining about what they are doing to enrich themselves or to expand their power.

I would guess that I’ve been to over 75 public meetings put on as “dog and pony shows” to fool the people into thinking they have some type of input. Not once, have I ever seen any change take place in the original intent of the bill or law.

Look at Obama. He is the master at making public meetings concerning new laws and regulations. Hell, he even uses a backdrop of little children, old people, police and firemen (excuse me...firepersons.) Have you seen anyone, group or political force ever even listened to by him? That’s right....NO! The same applies on every level of government.
