Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper will consider tougher gun laws and adjusted nightclub operating hours after a child was shot in the Curtis Park neighborhood and a gunfight erupted in Lower Downtown over the weekend.
The shootings have alarmed community members who fear a "summer of violence," he said.
"Let me be clear: This community will not accept violence — not a day of it, not a week of it, not a month of it — and certainly not a summer of it," the mayor said Monday.

Shot by a CCW holder? No? A bad guy you say, Mayor? Ass clown
I thought everyone in Denver was high on weed. Apparently not.
How about putting the hoodlums in their place !
Same liberal stupidity as always. When VIOLENT CRIMINALS start shooting at other people, make laws that only the law abiding will follow.
HEY! This gives me a GREAT idea! When a teen gets pregnant, LET'S GIVE HER A CONDOM!
Imus was excoriated for this! He was absolutely right on.
Oh well, B.H.Obama will make us all safe during and after the Communist party convention in Denver.
“About one year ago, Chickenpooper said, the city brought bar owners together to discuss changing the 2 a.m. bar closing time, but no changes were made. He hopes to bring the owners together once more to talk about changing closing hour.”
He’ll let the open at 3pm and close at 3:45pm.
“hoodlums in their place”
Back in Mexico you mean? He would never do that. He needs them to work in his restaurants.
“He’ll let the open at 3pm and close at 3:45pm.”
Except the ones he owns.
Ban crime, ya got it made mayor
Dear John Chickenlooper:Deport the Illegal Aliens and you will solve the violent crime.
You think there are no consequences to making Denver a sanctuary city.
Y'are a liberal schmuck !
I’m curious, what kind of weapon does his police officers carry? A peacock feather?
The geniuses think they have the perp, who was caught in a car with clouds of pot smoke at the scene...and then threw out a charge of drug possession, even though they found the pot in the car. Now if they can’t prove he shot someone, he will walk. They are only interested in arresting the gun, apparently.
That's right, by golly! Criminals and young people will OBEY these new laws, too./sarc
If only it had been illegal to shoot children in Curtis Park this tragedy could have been averted.
look at ol’ messico.
guns are illegal in mexico
and it’s one of the most violent countries in the world!
go figure.
