Gov. Hickenlooper apologizes for how gun control was handled

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Gov. John Hickenlooper told a group of Colorado sheriffs he is sorry for the way last year's gun-control measures were handled, and he acknowledged that the lawmen were shut out of the process.

Answering questions at the County Sheriffs of Colorado conference in Aspen on Friday, the governor said "I would say in the gun stuff, we certainly could have done a better job."

The Aspen Daily News reports Weld County Sheriff John Cooke asked Hickenlooper why he didn't meet with sheriffs before he signed the legislation. The governor said he did not know the lawmen were trying to talk to him until it was too late.

The legislation included new expanded background checks and a 15-round ammunition magazine limit.

Is Chickenloper running for re-election? It is the only time most jackasses pretend to be a little humble.

But will he ask for a reset so it can be done right? Don’t hold your breath.

The A-hole should have apologized to the citizens/voters too, but the truth is that he doesn’t think that he did anything wrong.

Yes, running for reelection in what many expect to be a losing race for him.

Sounds like Tom Tancredo is running away with the nomination.

So he "apologizes" only for procedural issues, and even then only to government employees and not the public. That seems more like a condescending power-grabber's attempt to stroke a few ruffled feathers in order to co-opt county law enforcement in the future.

I’m starting to see some yard signs for Adams county sheriff. Looked them both up, and they have that gun grabbing scumbag Ulibarri friended on their FB pages.
Took a few screenshots of it in case they delete it.

God knows, I hope you are right.
Sad part is, if Tancredo wins the nomination, the GOPe will probably divert their donations and support to the Hickenlooper campaign.
Remember, they had rather lose to Hickenlooper than have Tancredo win.
Go Tom Go!

The 2014 Colorado gubernatorial election will take place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Colorado. Incumbent Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper is running for election to a second term in office.

Republican primary

At the Republican state assembly on April 12, 2014, Mike Kopp and Scott Gessler received 34% and 33% of the votes of over 3,900 delegates, respectively, thus winning a place on the ballot. Greg Brophy, Steve House and Roni Bell Sylvester received 19%, 13% and 2%, respectively, falling short of the 30% needed to qualify for the ballot. Bob Beauprez and Tom Tancredo did not contest the assembly vote, instead petitioning their way onto the ballot.[8]
