A new poll measuring public opinion of gun control measures being considered in Colorado finds the issue could be politically dangerous for Democrats. And most dont think sweeping gun control measures will make them any safer, according to the pollster.
[W]hile opinions on this issue fall predictably along party and ideological lines, there are some political perils that Democratic leaders should be cognizant of, writes pollster Rob Autry, of Public Opinion Strategies, in a memo detailing the polls findings.
Democratic legislators also have to be mindful that even members of their own partisan coalition are conflicted about this proposed legislation. While only 8% of Democrats oppose all of the gun control measures we tested, 70% of Democratic voters oppose one or some combination of the proposals (either the comprehensive package, the background checks, the liability claim, or the high-capacity magazine ban).
These poll numbers prove that Governor Hickenlooper and the Democrats are listening to Bloomberg and Biden instead of Coloradans, comments state senator Greg Brophy, responding to the poll, in an email to me.

“Recall is being initiated against 2 more CO Dems, John Morse and Evie Hudak.”
BTW, I live in Colorado and am going to start donating money to get these commie bastards who are trying to emulate California and NY gun laws in our wonderful (formerly free) state.
What are the chances of these recalls succeeding? I’m willing to donate money for causes with good changes of success, but am not willing to donate money for simply tilting at windmills.
I tried the link in my post and got right onto their page. FWIW your link won’t work because you put a quotation mark on the end of it. Anyway, I have no personal connection to them so I can’t say who they use to host their website. I will bookmark the link to bluehost.com for myself though just in case I want to start a site someday though. Thanks.
I don’t know what the chances are. My gut feeling is ‘pretty good’ since, IMO, most Coloradans aren’t for gun control.
The gun liability bill has been dropped. CO Senate President John Morse is one nasty guy.

You’re kidding, right?
So what's wrong with legalization?
