GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Colorado residents are exercising their Second Amendment rights in record numbers.
Gun sales surged to a new high before President Barack Obama took office in January 2009. One year later, gun sales surpassed the record set in 2008, despite the recession's strong grip.

My guess in Colorado will be a GOP pickup in 2010. Hopefully they are running a conservative.

I’ve been stocking up on ammo. Did Echelon pick that up for Napolitano, Hussein, and Pelosi? I hope so. Conservatives need to be ready if Civil War II breaks out. If we take the House and Senate back in 2010, armed struggle might not be necessary.
