Colorado mothers hold sit-in to demand ban on all guns in violation of constitutions
BY JUSTIN ADAMS
JUNE 5, 2023 / 11:27 AM / CBS COLORADO
Thousands of women, many who are moms, gathered at the Colorado State Capital for an anti-gun event on Monday.
The group, "Here 4 The Kids," wants Gov. Jared Polis to sign an executive order banning guns altogether, including law enforcement and the national guard, even though they know it violates United States and Colorado constitutions. The crowd arrived just before 5 a.m.
"We are here for the kids. We are here to ban guns and we won't accept anything less," said Wolf Terry, Media Correspondent for Here 4 The Kids.
The organization also wants the governor to implement a gun buyback program. The group says this order would be in the memory of the children in Colorado who have lost their lives due to gun violence and prevent future gun violence deaths.
"I'd like to have Governor Polis sign the executive order to buy back guns immediately. We're not waiting for the legislators to do this we count on Governor Polis to do this," said Christina Alexiades.
Polis responded to the protest in a statement saying in part, "Staff has met with the organizers and have expressed concerns that the requests being made are either unconstitutional or require legislative action. The Governor takes the weighty responsibility of executive action and the trust Coloradans placed in him to govern responsibly seriously and will not issue an unconstitutional order that will be struck down in court simply to make a public relations statement -- he will continue to focus on real solutions to help make Colorado one of the ten safest states."
"These individuals' calls to improve safety and prevent gun violence through their specific requests for an executive order banning all guns would simply be unconstitutional."
The group held a 10 minute moment of silence at the top of every hour followed by reading off the names of kids that have died due to gun violence. They planned to be at the state capital until 8 p.m. before returning on Tuesday and there is a chance the group will come to the state capital through Thursday.
Well bless your heart…
Yet still another reason to repeal the 19th.
Something being unconstitutional hasn’t stopped them before, why would they change now?
Colorado mothers hold sit-in to demand ban on all guns in violation of constitutions
How about the guns that are NOT in violation of constitutions?
I’ll bet these mother believe they are making progress.
Should this read “Former California Moms”?
Violence against innocence is horrible. These morons aren’t helping.
Thousands of Mothers? Really? Thousands of mothers that have never read, much less understand what the United States Constitution is and why they have it?
Holy Mother of Pearl, the education system in the United States has really and truly descended into the lower depths of the crapper.
I remember counter protesting the Million Mom March (they love that ‘MOM’ name) at the Colorado state capitol. There were 300 of them and 50 of us but we had 100 cops watching us and taking pictures of us. That was in the early 2000s.
“Thousands of women”
From what I could tell it looked more like hundreds.......and that’s only MAYBE.
I to think we should demand a ban on all guns in violation of the constitution
And I
think the government should buy back all the guns they have sold ...
what’s the problem?
These ignorant, uneducated hags need to be home to mind their kids,
“Thousands” is a lie. Maybe one thousand and how many are from out of state?
Any use of "mom" other than as a term of endearment for one's own mother is a propaganda term used to disguise some attempt to limit freedom and enhance government power.
Yes; XIX got us where we are.
We are here to ban guns and we won’t accept anything less,” said Wolf Terry, Media Correspondent for Here 4 The Kids.
