Blue state (Colorado) GOP rep forced to remove 2A sticker from laptop: 'Offensive'
Fox News ^ | 3/23/25 | Michael Lee

Posted on 03/23/2025 12:13:33 PM PDT by Libloather

A Republican lawmaker from Colorado expressed shock at being told by Democratic colleagues that he had to remove a sticker supporting the Second Amendment from his laptop while in the state's House chamber.

"I had to cover up this, they couldn't stand my sticker," Colorado Republican state Rep. Ken DeGraaf said during remarks on the state's House floor, pointing to paper covering up a sticker in support of the Second Amendment on a laptop he carried with him to the chamber.

"It said ‘shall not be infringed’ and signed ‘2-A’ and that was considered offensive, which I understand would be offensive to this bill," he continued.

The remarks come as Colorado lawmakers debate a controversial gun control bill that would limit the sale of some semiautomatic firearms that rely on detachable magazines, such as the popular AR-15 platform.

The legislation, Colorado Senate Bill 25-003, would be one of the strictest gun control measures in the country, something the state's Democratic lawmakers argue is necessary to keep citizens safe.

"Preventing gun violence is one of the most effective ways that we can make our communities safer and save lives. Semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines are uniquely lethal and dangerous," state Rep. Meg Froelich, a Democatric sponsor of the bill, told KKTV. "This bill is a commonsense solution to ensure that people receive effective training and meet the requirements under state and federal firearm laws before purchasing the most lethal weapons on the market. From background checks and waiting periods to limits on high-capacity magazines, Colorado Democrats have enacted multiple laws to protect Coloradans from future gun violence."

So it is now unacceptable to show support for our Constitution and all of its amendments? Wow

It's not offensive.

These Communists consider it offensive but their opinions are irrelevant. They can leave for their failure to support both the First and Second Amendments.

He needs a bigger sticker for next time, and maybe a large sign on his back.

Are all DemonRats French?

They will be Surrender Monkeys when the Red Dawn Commies show up or when a

muzzie invasion demands submission. Almost half the country will willingly go to

the death camps. The DOE had a finger or whole hand in brainwashing this

dumb-downed country.

“Colorado is rising in fayg status. Even though I have elk hunted there twice in the last four years.”

Why? Don’t do it anymore. Stand on principle. Boycott the bastards and never give them one more dime.

Strong enough to do that? Until we are strong enough to set priorities based on principle and stand on them this woke communism mess will never get fixed...

Make them remove every damn rainbow in sight.
Then laminate the Bill of Rights and attach it to the laptop, so they can see it every time they walk buy.

Colorado needs liberal control, not gun control.

Liberal snowflakes are the most lazy, foul mouthed, dumb, mask-wearing, gene therapy ‘vaccine’ taking, money-grubbing, traitorous, anti-white, self-hating, statue destroying, child-killing, history ignorant, Rush hating, booger-eating, seditious, nature hating, aggressive, immature, insane, intolerant, bigoted, stingiest, anti-Christmas, polluting, off-key flat singing, angry, unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, Jew-hating, Israel-hating, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, vote-stealing, war-mongering, law-breaking, conservative black hating, and scared little lying thumb-sucking idiots God has ever created.

They are the only state where you can get a tag. We don’t have wapiti in Texas. I doubt very seriously that the people around Durango are fayg. Like most states, faygs live within loops.

Leftists are such stinking control freaks.

If they don’t approve of something, they want it banned for everyone.
