Boulder attorney spends thousands on gun control billboards following King Soopers shooting

BOULDER, Colo. — Drive down Interstate 25 near Firestone or on Highway 93 in Boulder and you’ll see them. Two billboards tower over the highway advocating for gun control.
One woman is behind their message.
Boulder attorney Lindasue Smollen has spent a lot of time crafting their message, hoping it will resonate with Coloradans. “The wording is important. They are wordy. People say it’s a traffic hazard. It’s getting your attention. That’s what I want,” she said. (bold mine)
Smollen has spent about $11,000 this month on the billboards, but she argues it’s money well spent after the mass shooting that happened not too far from her home at a Boulder King Soopers.
Smolle
n has spent thousands of dollars of her own money and also pays for the billboards using donations from a gofundme account.
“We have to do something. It’s the wild west all over the country. Have I changed minds? I don’t know. I’d like to think so,” she says.
One mind Smollen hasn’t changed is that of Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams, an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment.
“I think we have more than enough gun laws,” Reams said.
Smollen purposely put one of her billboards in Ream’s county and says she’s paid to have them put up in Weld County before because of Reams’ refusal to enforce red flag gun laws.
“Unfortunately the more and more that side pushes, the gun control advocates, the more I see people out buying firearms and ammo. I think it has the reverse effect of what she’s aiming for,” Reams said.
Smollen knows there are critics, but it hasn’t stopped her before.
In 2019 she purchased six billboards in Weld County, following a decision to make the county a Second Amendment Sanctuary County.
She also purchased several billboards in Boulder County in 2018.
At the very least, Smollen hopes the billboards spark a conversation, because she says sadly it’s only a matter of time before what happened in Boulder happens again.
“It’s going to happen in every community. It’s just a matter of time. Talk to me on the merits. Tell me what your solution is to this and engage,” she said.
Steve Reams is my Sheriff, and he's good to go.
Funny if someone went out there and peppered it with a shotgun
If she has that kind of money to spend on billboards you can bet she and her family live behind guarded security gates and fences.
She wants to make sure YOU can’t defend yourself and your loved ones against criminals - while she hypocritically does exactly that for her family.
Send her this:
“Own a musket for home defense
Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house.
“What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.
Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot.
Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “
Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.
Just as the founding fathers intended.”
Outstanding!
What was on that billboard , no idea too many words ,LOL
The point she makes on her billboard doesn’t just apply to the second amendment, it applies to the entire Bill of Rights, and in fact applies to a significant percentage of the Constitution.
Is she in favor of throwing it all away?
Imagine people using the Bible as a life guide...she’s an idiot...
She is a liberal so the answer is yes.
That last line is correct: Thoughts and prayers are not enough! The Jews learned that in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. And tens of millions of others also learned that throughout human history. So in addition to thoughts and prayers, what citizens in today’s world MUST HAVE to prevent being slaughtered by government-run or government-sanctioned holocausts is LOTS OF FIREPOWER AND THE WILL TO USE IT!
Stupid people emoting.
Exactly.
