They want more gun control for law abiding citizens and shorter sentences for crimminals.
Civil War is coming...
The Colorado Constitution with regards to militias:
Article 17
Militia
Section 1. Persons subject to service. The militia of the state shall consist of all able-bodied male residents of the state between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years; except, such persons as may be exempted by the laws of the United States, or of the state.
Section 2. Organization / equipment / discipline. The organization, equipment and discipline of the militia shall conform as nearly as practicable, to the regulations for the government of the armies of the United States.
Section 3. Officers - how chosen. The governor shall appoint all general, field and staff officers and commission them. Each company shall elect its own officers, who shall be commissioned by the governor; but if any company shall fail to elect such officers within the time prescribed by law, they may be appointed by the governor.
Section 4. Armories. The general assembly shall provide for the safekeeping of the public arms, military records, relics and banners of the state.
Section 5. Exemption in time of peace. No person having conscientious scruples against bearing arms, shall be compelled to do militia duty in time of peace; provided, such person shall pay an equivalent for such exemption.
It will only create a MAD MAX landscape of weaponized tools and vehicles, harpoons, crossbows, air cannons, trebuchets.
I would have said a week ago there is no way we lose the House and likely would hold the Senate by at least a couple seats, but the DC political class just declared civil war. Idiots.
One of the sheriffs in the Ozark Mtns said that he’d deputized every non-felon citizen in the county, starting with Form 4 ATF holders, CHCL holders, and FFLs etc. as a sure fire way to bypass federal laws since CLEOs are exempt.
Anyone out there considering purchasing an AK/AR type weapon, ya better get movin’!! Borrow the $ if need be. Just do it.
Some old wise men, a long time ago, wrote a guidebook for free people called The Constitution of the United States. Conservatives strongly believe what they wrote because it has worked quite well for over 200 years. The Moderates would like to change it a bit, and the Democrats, believers in communism, would like to destroy it.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable”.JFK
“The rifle is the weapon of democracy… If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns, only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government—and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.” -Edward Abbey
Enough is enough...Liberal law is treason
All the damn liberals and no-balls pantywaist republicans better be ready to defend their point of view...MY guns are staying with me.

those in DC and those who own them obviously fear an armed citizenry even though the UC citizen has and still complies with their anti-constitutional anti-second amendment laws. People do change with the right kind of encouragement, especially when they feel their own lives and their family’s lives are being threatened. History repeats.
They have no inkling the damage a competent rifleman with an old bolt-action Enfield, Moisin-Nagant or Springfield can do, one shot at a time.
The Senators we send to Washington think they work for the federal government rather then the state that elected them...
Maybe we need a law that says NO Senator can accept money from someone from another State.... Hell, maybe there is a law against it and they just don't enforce it...
As these kind of stories come out and are posted on FR, I for one would encourage you to remember that there are people out there right now who are watching and taking notes on every publicly expressed opinion.
There will probably come a day when we will have to fight to keep what little freedom we have left.
But...
Remember, there’s a Selective Service bill that was set aside, waiting for a vote until after Hillary “is elected,” decreeing that all women 18-30 must now enlist.
Word to the wise gals: She ain’t in this for YOU. Vote for her and you’ve got a big surprise coming.
Name any place in the US where bans have worked. Even mild Canada said no to registration (the precursor to confiscation). I just dont see anythig coming from DC as viable. They might try but in the end itll fail.
I was harping on this bill repeatedly, a few months ago.
The response / interest — if posts responding to mine count for anything—
was zero. Crickets.
How many of you have actually read this bill? Link below. Or called, or written your congresscritters?
Hmmmm?
Don’t just call your repubbies; harass your democrats as well, with calls and letters.
The bill, cosponsored by virtually all democrats in the house, would criminalize POSSESSION of dozens of guns you CURRENTLY own, in addition to future purchase, manufacture, import, etc.
THIS IS TRULY A GUN CONFISCATION BILL.
And the bill goes far beyond so-called “assault weapons.”
It includes a very, very scary-ass long LIST of various commonly owned guns, the POSSESSION of which would be outlawed.
Read the bill. SIGN UP for UPDATES, so you’ll know when it moves forward, and you can keep the heat on your congress.
The OP is correct—if we get a democrat POTUS and majority, it might actually pass. We cannot allow this.
The stakes are huge.

I find it very hard to believe we will take up arms and fight later, if we won’t even pick up a pen or a telephone now.
