Giron: What this story really is about, it’s about voter suppression. When Colorado has voted by mail — 70 percent of Coloradans vote by mail — and we didn’t have access to that mail ballot, I mean, I —
Host: Forgive me, but I’m going to cut you off right there because if we talk voter suppression, I’ve read reports about a lack of popularity on your behalf, let’s just not go there. Let’s get to the meat of the story, which is this gun control stance…
Giron: That is the meat of the story!
Host: … That you and your, uh, let’s talk though about the stance that you and your colleague, the head of the Senate, a former police officer, have taken. And here you have mega mega cash from Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Mayor Bloomberg, versus this grassroots effort. What happened?
Giron: I’m telling you what happened is that you had only 30,000 of the voters who in the last election, um, off-year election, was 45,000. And so the people that are in support of very common sense gun legislation weren’t able to get to the polls. They vote by ballot and they have been doing that for 25 years. I mean, we have to call it for what it is. When I was talking to people at the doors and in their homes it was that, “Oh, this what this is about, because you want universal background checks so you voted for that, and because you’re limiting magazines to 15? I don’t see anything wrong with that, I don’t see any infringement on the Second Amendment.” So, people didn’t know what it was about. There was voter confusion. We didn’t even know what the rules of the game were, this is the United States of America, we didn’t even know what the rules of the game were a week out from the election. Where to vote, how to vote, were you going to get a ballot in the mail? Um, and, so it was just that confusion led to the voices of people in Pueblo County and El Paso County not having their voices heard and yet they’re going to have to pay for this election, the most expensive in the history of these two counties.

Thank you my dear for your comments. Now GET YOUR A$$ OFF THE STAGE!
Both of those dems are bitter losers. Maybe if they had only read the constitution, none of this would have happened.
Stick to cookbooks from here on out, Angela...we’ll manage the Constitution without you and your fellow travelers.
Actions have consequences, sweetie. You ignored your constituents in favor if blind political ideology. You messed with a right that a lot of people take very seriously and you got a boot in your ass.
The “teachable moment” here is that you need to think very, very carefully before voting on legislation, and accept that when you go against the will of your constituents, you can get sent packing soomer rather than later.
I’m sure Ms. Giron will find a lucrative job with Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Obama, or some gun grabbing joint like the national coalition to ban handguns or Jim Brady’s merry band of gun grabbers.
