Hickenlooper nervously defends gun control laws after Colorado recalls
Washington Examiner ^ | Sept 12, 2013 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 09/12/2013 8:32:10 AM PDT by theruleshavechanged

"It's worth saying Colorado has maintained people's right to own a gun --- we've maintained the full respect for the Second Amendment," he insisted during a press conference on Wednesday.

Hickenlooper repeatedly cited a poll showing that 80 percent of Colorado voters support universal background checks, calling the law "sound and sensible."

He admitted, however, that he was never as "fired up" about limits on ammunition magazines.

"That was a tough one," he said.

Sounds like chicken poop smells.

“Can they recall that lib nut?”

He’s nervous because he’s up for reelection next November, and he’s currently tied with Tom Tancredo.

Hickenlooper rhymes with Chicken Pooper. Both smell about the same.

“we’ve maintained the full respect for the Second Amendment,” - thus spoke Weasel-thustra.

I read Tancredo has pulled even with Hickenlooper in latest poll. I’m assuming he’s the Republican candidate?

In a profession chalk full of worms he just about takes the cake.
His responses revealed a small minded political hack and puppet with no brains or conviction.
He could at least buck up and say “I’m sorry I failed to lead Colorado I protecting the Second Amendment, and voters from highly democratic districts reminded me of that sacred obligation. I now encourage the legislature to repeal those laws, at which time I will sign the bill and pledge not to make the same mistake twice.”
That would at least be respectable.
Instead he insulted the voters by accusing them of voting with their inflamed passions over the facts.
What a moron!

"You know I'm not going to say yes, myself … every time I do that, it invariably gets me into trouble," Hickenlooper said as he ended the press conference.

Typical liberal "well if your gona use my words against me I guess I better not say what I really believe"!! Another thing, if 80% of the people agreed with them how did they get recalled??

He certainly should be, FrdmLvr, but Republicans in Colorado have a long, depressing tradition of RINO-ism.

I don't know why it is, but liberals always double-down on gun control.

ALWAYS.

No matter what political writing is on the wall.

Not the way these clowns define it they don't.

Question 1: Would you rather have your children barbequed and eaten, or have universal background checks?

See? Everyone supports it.

I am praying Tancredo kicks his butt next year. He will make a great Gov for Colorado.
