President Obama has now addressed the seventh mass shooting of his presidency, and we certainly heard the weariness in his voice Monday as spoke about the massacre at the Washington Navy Yard: “It’s a shooting that targeted our military and civilian personnel. These are men and women who were going to work, doing their job, protecting all of us. They’re patriots, and they know the dangers of serving abroad, but today they faced the unimaginable violence that they wouldn’t have expected here at home.”
As a state legislator now branded by the word “recalled,” I can identify with that weariness. Gun legislation has stalled in Congress because lawmakers fear the fate I suffered — being targeted, voted out or recalled by extremist political activists because of views on firearms safety that dare challenge the gun lobby. The recall fight that my colleague, Colorado Senate President John Morse, and I lost demonstrated that no matter the cost of our political positions, common-sense gun-safety legislation is achievable. Colorado’s newest gun-safety laws have been in effect for months, and the recalls have no bearing on them. The legislation we helped pass proves that the gun lobby can be beaten.
Sen. Morse and I started the 2013 legislative session amid a constituent outcry to curb gun violence in our communities. The movie theater shooting in Aurora last summer and the Newtown massacre in Connecticut had brought guns to the forefront of our agenda. We passed laws that extended our state’s background-check system to include private sales, to keep guns out of the hands of criminals; limited ammunition magazines to 15 rounds; and made sure that domestic abusers aren’t allowed to buy or keep guns.
Each of these laws is already making Colorado safer....

Suicide Politician.
Detonate the legislative bomb, and expect your 72 virgins when you return to the private sector.
Taqqiya for Dems is as natural for them as it is for Muzzies.
But would you hit it ?
You lost. Get over it. Get a hobby.
Don’t know if she’s izzie but from the boob-toob interview I saw she is 3 french fries short of a happy meal ;’)
That's a whole lot of "extremist political activists." One might almost say there's enough to be a majority...
Gawd - that’s got to be the most unappetizing thing I’ve ever seen!
Me too. As I needed any incentive to stay out of McDonalds.
The thing we must all keep in mind is that she (they)
don’t consider the opposition to be citizens who’s
wishes they have to respect and they disrespect us
at every opportunity.
I’m glad she/they were thrown out and had I been in
their state I would have voted to do so.
ComDem CRAZY!
Totally Insane. Almost as insane as Pelosi.
Apparently she never heard of the Lautenburg Amendment.
It’s a diet meal.
Firearms should be used responsibly, on that I would never disagree. However, Miss, for you to come out and say things like that aggressively AFTER you've been recalled means the scripture is true about the tongue being untamed.
Your REAL intent is to disarm the public and make them subject to despotism. Your very words indicate that MY statement is true. You would deny that premise and the scripture is again true that men (and women, in your case) tend to lie a lot.
Also, someone else said, "You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Time's up. We're not being fooled anymore. I would decree that your name should never again be used publicly. As such, you will be quickly forgotten.
Angela, eat your peas.
The punch line to this picture is embedded in its filename: “angry-meal.jpg” ...
She planned it this way so she would have more time to travel the country spreading the word about Bitter Clinger.
And Obama planned on Putin pushing Assad to give up his WMD’s by getting Lurch to plant te idea in Putin’s head.
I’ve found that some good scotch helps make people like her tolerable. Now if she’d just shut up.
Preach it to President Obama, Angela baby. Make it the centerpiece of every speech of his until the 2014 elections.
Push it hard.
May the termites eating away at the Constitution break their jaws on the steel of the second amendment.
