Colorado mothers hold sit-in to demand ban on all guns in violation of constitutions

Thousands of women, many who are moms, gathered at the Colorado State Capital for an anti-gun event on Monday.
The group, "Here 4 The Kids," wants Gov. Jared Polis to sign an executive order banning guns altogether, including law enforcement and the national guard, even though they know it violates United States and Colorado constitutions. The crowd arrived just before 5 a.m.
"We are here for the kids. We are here to ban guns and we won't accept anything less," said Wolf Terry, Media Correspondent for Here 4 The Kids.
The organization also wants the governor to implement a gun buyback program. The group says this order would be in the memory of the children in Colorado who have lost their lives due to gun violence and prevent future gun violence deaths.
"I'd like to have Governor Polis sign the executive order to buy back guns immediately. We're not waiting for the legislators to do this we count on Governor Polis to do this," said Christina Alexiades.
Polis responded to the protest in a statement saying in part, "Staff has met with the organizers and have expressed concerns that the requests being made are either unconstitutional or require legislative action. The Governor takes the weighty responsibility of executive action and the trust Coloradans placed in him to govern responsibly seriously and will not issue an unconstitutional order that will be struck down in court simply to make a public relations statement -- he will continue to focus on real solutions to help make Colorado one of the ten safest states."
"These individuals' calls to improve safety and prevent gun violence through their specific requests for an executive order banning all guns would simply be unconstitutional."
The group held a 10 minute moment of silence at the top of every hour followed by reading off the names of kids that have died due to gun violence. They planned to be at the state capital until 8 p.m. before returning on Tuesday and there is a chance the group will come to the state capital through Thursday.
I wonder how they expect the ban to be enforced?
The news media back then (1968-1984)was all over the SNS definition of handguns. Even high quality small handguns were declared to be SNS pistols!
In 1984, they found a new target. Rifles! Something they always said they would never go after.
There’s already been talk here in northern Colorado about joining Wyoming.
This is starting to look like the conference re-alignments in college football.
Probably.
TRT?
Yep, the usual cast of leftwing radicals once again using Judeo-Christian values of motherhood as their mask for Marxist ends.
Its for the children..
Especially those 16 &17 year old gang-bangers.
I still have my shirt.
Yes, the wife and I. Still have the shits.
A few nauseating words of wisdom from Ms TerryWhen it was time for me to decide whether or not to get the COVID-19 vaccine, as a yoga practitioner and teacher... people around the world felt like the ultimate exercise of the first ethical discipline of the yamas. By protecting myself against COVID-19, I was in turn protecting my loved ones, my community, and the world at large....As a young, upper-middle class white woman, I understood that this pandemic would not hit me the hardest. It would impact marginalized communities, medical professionals and hospital staff, people who work low-paying jobs in grocery stores and delivery services, as well as the elderly and immunocompromised populations far more than it would impact me and my household. Considering this information, my COVID-19 vaccine was a vote in the interest of people who were more vulnerable than me.
Of course, ladies, criminals will be first in line to turn in their guns. (Tee hee hee)
Us too. Remember the old guy with the big jar of cashews labeled “gun nuts” that he would share around? Great times.
Yep....since were discussing fake, exaggerated and unscrupulous news reporting enjoy this oldie but goodie.
There’s no telling what they’ve reported on over the years that is still considered absolutely true but in reality is total bull5h!t.
“I still have my shirt.”
Me too.
Me too.
While all the Mom’s are gathered together somebody read them the 2nd amendment. 🙄
