I don’t recall reading the answer to this. But this recall didn’t in any way change the law they passed, did it? I think they have to remove the law. Can they do that with the votes they now have?

Colorado county Sheriffs have sued the state over the law. They have said the laws are unenforceable. The AG said he would not enforce the laws. People are just ignoring the laws. Doomburg won a lot of hate and disrespect for the arrogant gun and soda grabber form back east.

If the current recall goes through I believe they can tip one of the houses in the legislature.

Short answer: No.

The recall changed the Colorado Senate mix from a 20 to 15 Democratic advantage to an 18 to 17 Democratic advantage. The good news is that this makes the passing of additional gun legislation less likely in the next session.

The only way the gun laws that were passed in the last session will be overturned is if in the next election (2014) the Republicans take over the state Senate (quite possible), the state House (less likely) and the governorship (even less likely). I'm not holding my breath.

So, you are the “all or nothing Republican” type?

This recall gave us one seat shy of a majority in the Senate and we are in the middle of recalling the last seat needed. It also galvanized conservatives in Colorado to vote and be heard.
