Here 4 the Kids, a gun control group comprised of mothers, is urging Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) to use an executive order to ban all guns in the state.
The mothers are hoping a “group of 25,000 will come together for a sit-in at the state Capitol” on June 5 to demand all guns be banned, 9 News reports.
The homepage on the Here 4 the Kids website says, “We demand that Colorado Governor Jared Polis sign an executive order to ban guns and buy them back.”
Another section of their website explains, “We are not an organization. This movement is an unexplored and unprecedented action, led by black and brown women with a team of white women working behind the scenes, to end gun violence in the United States.”
The Here 4 the Kids website repeats the often stated false claim that “guns are the number one killer of children in the United States.” This claim is often based on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study which counts people of voting age–18 and 19-year-olds–as children. Breitbart News has pointed out that using the broad age range allows the study to show firearm-related deaths of children ages 0-19 totaled 4,368 in 2020, while motor vehicle deaths for the same age range totaled 4,036.

Just like Prohibition. Wonderful idea..
>> I wonder how gov. polesmoker will respond?
Hey, I hope he listens to them and “bans all guns”! By executive order, yet!
He’ll get his pole smoked, all right... his catcher’s mitt too.
It’ll be funny to watch.
Followed closely by cell phones... Cell phones might even be the major killer of those under 21....
No the 1st to give up their guns need to be politician security.
The 2nd should be ALL government entities, police, sheriffs, state troopers, and all feds.
They need a Moms For Self Defense
To counteract
Sorry, but he can’t do it. Well, not sorry.
Ban All Cars
Ban All Knives
Ban All Hammers
and the list goes on.
>> “We are not an organization. This movement is... led by black and brown women”
It’s a “black and brown movement”, then? Very well. Most “movements” are.
And apparently “black and brown women” are dumber than a bag of hammers and somewhat unacquainted with the US Constitution’s 2nd Amendment.
I want to ban mental defectives.
I smell Bloomberg money behind this.
if gun laws worked we could just pass laws against violence, crime, speeding, hurting people and hurting people’s feelings and have world peace.
Want to see the Western third of Colorado ask to join Utah…and the Eastern third join Wyoming? Then do this.
I want my sheriff and his deputies to keep theirs.
Yeah...pre-Oregon 114, I’d have laughed this off, out of hand. I doubt that Polis is dumb enough to do this via Executive Order, but CO does have an initiative petition process. Lawfare seems to be the preferred weapon in the war on the Second Amendment.
That’s their end game all along.
It used to be hand guns the liberals wanted to ban(Handgun Control, Inc)
Then it was “assault rifles” and HCI became “Brady: United Against Gun Violence” so it could go after those evil rifles and hope people would forget it’s earlier stance.
Which is why their argument the 2nd amendment is about “hunting” is a ruse.
Once all the “bad” guns are illegal these same groups that align with PETA, will switch arguments and say the 2nd isn’t about hunting and grab Elmer Fudd’s shotgun, too.
This Ping List is for all news pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from this Ping List.

>> grab Elmer Fudd’s shotgun, too
I can’t speak for Elmer, but grabbing *my* shotgun would be a tad risky. Same for my other legally owned 2nd amendment protected possessions.
I like to check the FB threads after high-profile shootings. One female POC commented after the recent mall shooting that it wouldn’t have happened if Abbott hadn’t made owning guns legal in Texas. WTAF?
Even with all the communist and Soroznazi $$$ creating and backing these groups, just how idiotic can they get ???
