Personally, in a situation like this, I'd rather have one loaded Glock than all the call boxes, safe zones, and rape whistles in Colorado ... but what the hell do I know?

Gun Control: The silent media ignore a Colorado Democrat who says women don't need firearms to defend themselves from predators and a patronizing vice president who says women can't handle an AR-15 anyway.
On Monday, the Colorado House passed four gun control bills. Among them is HB13-1226. It would ban concealed weapons on college campuses, as if creating more gun-free zones, such as the one around the Aurora, Colo., theater, where 12 were killed and another 59 wounded, will prevent more massacres.
Colorado is a concealed-carry state, as was Virginia at the time of the Virginia Tech shootings. But like the Aurora theater, Virginia Tech had declared itself a gun-free zone. It's a lesson the Colorado House apparently didn't learn.
John Fund, writing in National Review, notes that the Aurora shooter had a choice, within a 20-minute drive from his home, of seven movie theaters that were showing the Batman movie with which he was obsessed.
The Cinemark Theater he chose wasn't the closest, but was the only one that banned customers from carrying their guns inside, allowed under Colorado law.
Supporting HB13-1226 was Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar said that even if women feel like they're going to be raped, that's no justification for carrying a Glock in your purse or book bag.
"It's why we have call boxes; it's why we have safe zones; it's why we have the whistles," Salazar opined.

Thus, the headline is somewhat misleading ... Akin per se has nothing to do with Colorado. The article, however, is all about the left wing idiots in that fine state, and their absurd notions of how to best protect their women.
I apologize any confusion and promise to gulp more coffee at this early hour before making further posts.

The stupidity of those sent to washington (usually really dumb ones are democrats) is amazing, but got quite a laugh about a republican drinking a glass of water makes him unqualified to be president....Love the fact that hes using it to sell bottles of water......GG love the pictures.
This coming from a senator who has 2 daughters. Do they have rape whistles? I imagine they have body guards dont you? Once again Hypocracy is paramount with these idiots. Its good for me and my family but not for you. Guns for me and whistles for you.
These a holes keep up with this crap, a revolution is in the making. I really think all those in washington should fire their body guards or else disarm them....No secret service for the president, no one is going to hurt him, and he can drive a regular SUV not the Tank he sits in that looks like a car.....they are disgusting...
I don’t know but I wish the GOP would go after democrats the way they went after Akin.
Exactly! The Rats pounded on that point to such a extent that it made
The Rats AND the Karl Rove wing of the GOPe pounded on that point to such a extent that it made...
If they did Obama would be a lame duck right now and maybe even living in Hawaii full time.
OH?
....Does anybody remember what the Democrats did at their convention ??? First they eliminated any mention of the word GOD...and when they thought twice about doing that they reintroduced the resolution what happened ? They booed God....That resolution was rammed through just like the Affordable Health Care Act ...
Was that fact used in any of the material Rove’s RINOS spewed forth during the 2012 Romney or US senate races his group of GOPES (Government Ofthe People Elite Snobs) used on their hit list ? I like using that acronym because it rhymes with dopes.
Noooo ! They could have used that episode to point out how far to the left the democrat party has hyphenated into; Demo-Coms ...Instead well we don’t like Aikin ...He said what ? OMG OMG he’s unqualified ...If there was a chance he would have been burned at the stake by Rove’s RINOS and the so called “conservative “ talkies spouting Rove’s tripe.
Why ? What drove this ? They were responding to the miss-direction driven by Obama’s instuments of oppression Mainline Socialist Media (MSM).The Aikin or O’Donnells response to a set up phoney issue had nothing to do with any thing that would ever occur in any legislation that would pass their respective desks had they been elected.
THE RESPONSE YOU DIDN’T HEAR WAS THIS “”While at their convention the Democrats were busy denying God . Aikin believes in something like the ten commandments. Including Thou shalt not steal and doesn’t believe that getting elected to office gives you a license to do steal ... Which his opponent seems to have done rather well since being in office. The same thing with Mourdock,O’Donnnell, etc,etc, etc.
That presentation could have been expanded to Reid, Pelosi, and the slew of Demo-Com pigs at the trough. building their personal wealth at the expense of the US taxpayers.
Salazar needs to be held down, have a rape whistle super glued to his lips and have a Louisville Slugger forced up his a$$. Such beautiful music he would make.
I stole that picture. Thanks.
