Colorado Senate give final OK to gun control bills

DENVER (AP) -- A gun control package pushed by Colorado Democrats cleared the state Senate on Monday, as sponsors described it as a needed response to Colorado's blood-soaked history of mass shootings.

One Democrat after another rose Monday to talk about restricting gun rights after last July's shooting at a suburban Denver movie theater. The vote came on the eve of an expected plea by the alleged gunman, James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring dozens more.

The measures approved by the Senate included a limit on the kinds of high-capacity ammunition magazines Holmes is accused of using in the theater shooting. Other measures included expanded background checks on private gun sales and a new ban on gun ownership for people facing domestic violence charges.

Republicans argued in vain that the gun controls would not have prevented the theater shooting, nor the school massacre last December in Newtown, Conn. Some cited the 1999 Columbine High School shootings outside Denver.

Democrats stood firm.

happens down on the south too, the locusts move on mass to the south from the north just as they ove on mass to CO from CA

They then want their drugs to be legal to get high whilst banning constitutional rights like guns.

It;s such a shame that these parasites move to the south and mountain states and then want it changed to look like the cess pits they moved from.

All they want is a hippie, druggie, homo, turd poking way of life and then shut freedom for the people away from Gvt and they vote for the Govt , a big Govt.

We need a wall alright, it;s on the Potomac and the border of CA

Lived here my entire life. A sad day for my state, a sad day indeed. :(

ses my other posts on this thread if you get a chance, I;m sick and others are too of these northern liberal druggie,anal sex feces loving, moving here and changing our states.
It sounds like CO has been infested too by those CA hippie peace loons/\

Here’s some help with a couple of misperceptions.

1. Most of the Coloradans I’ve met were environmentalists, animal worshipers, drug abusers, etc., paid either directly by government or by government-connected services. Most of them tried to give an initial impression or said outright that they were old fashioned and conservative.

2. Many of those moving in from elsewhere are from the northeastern states.

I suspect, from what we read about politics and other matters, that the same has happened in at least most of the rest of our country.

Baraq won Colo by 5.5 points.

I can’t ever see it going red again.

It’s an infection. A cancer. A pox on America.

Deny, Defy, Do not Comply!

Which of these laws would have prevented Holmes from boobie-trapping his apartment with explosives?

My 1911s have 7 round mags, Sigs and HKs have 13-19 round mags. Regardless of what I’m carrying, I always carry a spare mag. Mags are the weakest pistol component, especially in a 1911 platform.

The representatives of the Democratic [sic] party have expressed their hatred. I wonder how much hatred will be expressed right back at them, and what form, if any, it will take.

[ThunderSleeps]

If governor Hickenlooper signs these - and there’s no reason to believe he won’t - I for one will not comply, period. First, I won’t be selling any of my firearms. If I decide to give one or more to my children or my wife, the CO government and the ‘rats in power can go pound sand. If I want/need more magazines, I will get them. My local Sheriff has already stated he will not enforce any laws that infringe on our 2A rights.

CO is now a blue state but not just blue but radcial socialist IMHO, lets face it the state has gone to the loon left like MA, WA, CA, and sadly the natives were infested and invaded by the CA loons looking to escape CA, if that actually makes sense to them

[Cheerio]

t a crock. I traveled much of Colorado for many years. I know the natives, especially away from the cities. They have been overun by many from CA since then, but I suspect the Commie Dems will pay a dear price at the next elections. There are a lot of hunters and shooters in CO.

A couple of years ago I would have agreed with your assessment that they will pay dearly in the next election - TODAY I CANNOT AGREE. I never thought the clownish buffoon in the White Hut could possibly be elected a second time what with all the misery he has spread across this great nation for four years, and yet look how he stole it. He campaigned as though the GOP were still in control, taking credit only for KILLING OSAMA, and all the negatives were blamed on Congress or his inheritance from GWB.

I live in AZ and the Mexifornians are turning my state purple also. They destroy the state they live in by embracing all things liberal and socialist, then flee to a nice conservative state like CO or AZ and proceed to instill their libtard ideology again. The rural parts of these states can never overwhelm the urban "takers" that have learned to live off the fat of the "workers".

When I watch the GOP House on a daily basis, I have vowed I will never vote for another national candidate in my lifetime. It is a waste of time - the "takers" are going to vote in Santa Claus every election, and eventually the bond markets will collapse and it will be over. Actually I didn't think Bernack and Clown could print this much money out of thin air and not have triggered the crash by now. It goes to show how the markets are manipulated and are total irrational and uncoupled from the economy.

I am appalled at what has become of my once fiercely independent western state. Hopefully this will awaken conservatives that have been staying home and we can work on repeal after the next election. There is always a court challenge meanwhile, but I’m not hopeful the courts will inject reason and constitutionality into the process.

Not only California but large amounts of illegal aliens. One of my kids actually was not hired at a local McDonald’s because he was not bilingual.

The leftists from California are children of refugees from the Northeast.

The most notorious massacres in
Colorado history were perpetrated by Democrats, if memory serves and really point out the need for citizens to be fully armed. Those massacres were the Sand Creek Massacre brought by Col. John Chivington (sp) and the Ludlo Massacre brought by the Colorado State Militia.

I was born in Colorado and my parents and son are burried there. I am considering moving them.
