A survey released Monday from Project New America and pollster Chris Keating found that 61 percent of Coloradans support a ban on assault weapons, and that other gun control proposals have even higher support in the state. "Project New America Polling" outfit are leftists.

they wanted to see a new ban on assault weapons... Congress is NOT a place for legislaters to pass laws of WANT, it's a place for them to pass laws of NEED. And we do not need this.

Gee, I wonder why “61% of Coloradoans” are in favor taking guns from Coloradoans, then how come none of the gun grab bills have moved other then being mouthed by a couple of Dims in public? Seems to be that poll above is garbage and the Colorado pols know it.

The only poll that should matter to Udal and to Bennet is the election they face after they make whatever decision they choose regarding gun legislation.
I've written to both of them a couple of times to let them know this voter's stance.
I hope every other Colorado Freeper is doing the same.

Years ago in the early 1970s, the DENVER POST wanted to ban what they called “Saturday Night Specials”.
Any gun under $50.00, at that time, they considered a SNS.
The pistol they used to illustrate the article was a RUGER .22 auto pistol. I bought my first Ruger .22 auto for the princely price of $45.00 back then.
A new Winchester 30-30 was the same price.

...restrictions on certain weapons intended for the battlefield... What a bald-faced f'n lie!
To: Red Steel
In a related move, both senators have restricted their security teams from using any military style weapons, as they are inherently dangerous and might go off without warning...NOT.
My words to all of them are simple and concise: You First.
And as Diane’s legislation shows, they are fully intending on being more equal animals than us, by specifically exempting from the ban government employees.
This is the United States. We The People! And we need to END this culture of privilege that infects those who are supposed to serve us. You want to make asinine laws, you can start it by applying them to yourself first.

Conservatives and supporters of the 2nd amendment the Obama regime is using the 2nd amendment argument to blame gun owners for its inability to deal with the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings commited in areas under their solid control using illegally obtained firearms.
Obama’s solution to those inner city problems is to remove those rights provided by the constitution to have and bear arms from all US citizens.
None of those 23 so called reforms and unconstitutional efforts being edicted by who some call an emperor do not deal with the following issues briefly outlined below let alone insane shooters using stolen weapons. .
They wont because instead of creating a uniformly democratic society where every citizen has an equal voice no matter what their race or ethnicity.
Obamas policies have divided races and ethnic groups gerrymandering congressional districts where much of this criminal activity occurs. GOPES {goverment of the people (republican party) elites} see this issue as a 3rd rail because most of it is black on black or illegal vs illegal (Mexican) activity .
GOPES are also afraid to say that policy also increased racial tension which has resited in deaths. But again GOPES accept this because of the influence of mainline socialist media which would be accusing them of racism if they dare to question it.
The purpose of all this hype on guns is to keep the right and conservatives focused on what the Demo-Coms describe as issues through their propaganda arm known as the MSM (mainline socialist media) not on the problems created by the Libs on their road of good intentions or the socialist/fascists/communists successors to comtrol over todays Democrat party; Which is the cost ,waste, and corruption of his administration which had led to a 16 trillion dollar deficit.
Not one word will address or offer a solution about the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings too many by fatherless teens using illegaly obtained mostly handguns and revolvers .
Instead place the blame on the constitution using code words like assault rifles which are really single shot per trigger pull semi automatic rifles, used for small game hunting or target practice. That are legal in every state but made to look like their military counterpart..
They have been called AR’s since Viet Nam when a DOD decision made ARs which are really medium caliber (22.3) machine guns designed to wound not necessarilly kill when they are automatic and fire as many rounds that are in its magazine once the trigger is kept pulled position. .These replace quick kill larger 30 caliber semi automatic (single shot) M-1, Springfield rifles and carbines used during WWII and Korea and approved in most states for use in big game hunting.

Obama certainly cant critique a system created by his ilk .Ignored in his 23 edicts is that when once caught, perps get set free with lenient sentencing from liberal judges or sob sister plea bargain prosecution (which Obama supports for when a Illinois state senator while introducing legislation to sentence any 15 year old as an adult. Obama voted “absent” with others on roll call vote. The sob sister defence continues to be promoted by the MSM,The New York Times CNN, NBC and,ABC. Theres certainly no criticism of no snitch mentality partcularly in areas where these shootings are rampant.
It would be nice at these rallys if conservatives would point these facts out to Obamas adoring public
