Colo. State Legislature convenes-no overt, early mention of gun control
January 9, 2009 | Tagged anti-gun Obama, Colorado Legislature, Second Amendment | 1 Comment
On 01-07-09, the 67th Colorado General Assembly went into session. For the next 117 days, the House and Senate will meet at the Capitol in Denver to wrestle with the issues facing the state. Budget deficits, economic issues, transportation (roads and bridges), education, energy policies, and health care issues seem to dominate the political landscape. In there first three days, I heard no anti-gun rhetoric and saw no anti-gun bills.
This absence of early activity does not mean that a spree killing with a semi-automatic weapon in a “gun free,” criminal-safe free fire zone could not provoke a storm of anti-Second Amendment legislation. There is still much time available for bills to be introduced that could negatively impact the legal rights of Coloradoans to armed self-defense from crime, tyranny, and genocide.
The early calm could also mean that state gun control radicals are waiting to see what happens at the federal level under a decidedly anti-gun Obama Administration. There are currently about 14 anti-individual rights bills before Congress. The Obama Transition Team has listed four anti-gun priorities. See my posts, If Obama wins, you lose gun rights. He only has to sign the bills,” and “Anti-gun Obama takes off the mask,” under the Category, “Elections.”
Hopefully, the Democrats at the state and federal levels will find better things to do than tinker with the fundamental individual rights of Colorado Citizens that were recognized by the Second Amendment. Stay alert!
