Colorado takes the full cover of the National Rifle Association magazine, America’s 1st Freedom, for the second time in 2013, but this time it’s different.
It was just a few short months ago that disgraceful quotes from four Colorado lawmakers were splayed across the front cover. This weekend, when NRA members across the country go to their mailboxes, they will see a different group of elected Colorado leaders looking back at them: 28 of the 55 sheriffs sheriffs who signed on to a federal lawsuit challenging this year’s controversial gun control laws that were passed by the Democrat-controlled legislature and signed by Governor Hickenlooper. El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa is front and center.
“In Colorado…county sheriffs are coming to the rescue,” wrote journalist Frank Miniter in a pull-out quote. So true, so true.
My sheriff is there. Terry Maketa is one of the best.
My issue arrived yesterday. Sheriff John Cooke stands like John Hancock in the inside picture. I pray that these brave men are able to put Colorado’s (California lite) bad gun laws in the limelight. Bravo Sheriffs of Colorado!
But what this tells me, is that there are 17 other cowards that either are commie pigs, or too “sceerd” to take a stand.
17 anti-Constitutionalists, is 17 way too many.
Find them, impeach them. Beat them out of office.
MAKE THEM FEEL SHAME!
"Joseph Hoy, Sheriff of Eagle County
Kirk Taylor, Sheriff of Pueblo County
William Palmer, Jr, Sheriff of Chaffee County
Robert Gurule, Sheriff of Conejos County
Bill Masters, Sheriff of San Miguel County
Joseph Pelle, Sheriff of Boulder County
Joe Disalvo, Sheriff of Pitkin County
Tom Deland, Sheriff of Broomfield County [appointed sheriff]
Gary Wilson, Sheriff of Denver County" [appointed sheriff]
"UPDATE: It’s worth noting that ALL 64 Sheriffs signed onto a white paper opposing the gun bills when they were working their way through the legislature. These 10, for whatever reason, decided not to step up to the plate and fight the laws once they were passed."

I hope the American part of Colorado secedes from the California part of Colorado.
I was hoping to move to CO, until that law passed.
If the pressure stays the same on the CO Dems, the laws won’t last too long.
Sounds like yinz may need to do some “door to door” good ol fashioned politikin.
After all is said an done, its the folks in the county what makes the choice.
Buy two pairs of shoes. Wear em both out. Knock on every door. Make folks know that their sheriff is a sell out.
Wearin out them shoes pays off at the polls. Eddie Rendell taught me that truth. And he regrets teachin me that truth every day.

Please come on. We need all the conservatives we can get.
The infestation is statewide. It isn’t all California. The northeast shipped a bunch of the left’s finest. Wisconsin is red and we are blue.
God bless them all.
Yep, front and center. Heard him speak several times, met him and shook his hand. We are will you Sheriff!
You could carve out most of the Denver/Boulder area and call it "Calirado" - I wouldn't miss it.
Absolutely.

Whenever I go into Boulder Co. I feel icky afterwards, they suck.
