Update: … or is the bill really dead? The plot thickens as the Denver Post updates is original reporting, and says Sen. Heath might not have made up his mind… but his Democrat colleagues insist that no, his mind is indeed made up… but the Senate President says those guys are just peddling rumors:...
--snip--
The “controversial comments” referenced by the Post include Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar suggesting that it’s better to arm high-strung women with rape whistles and “safe zones” instead of guns, so they don’t freak out if they “feel like you’re gonna be raped” and “pop out that gun and you pop a round” at random men. Meanwhile, Democrat senator Evie Hudak was explaining to the survivor of a brutal rape how guns are useless against sexual predators once a woman’s tae kwon do skills have proven ineffective. And the University of Colorado has been advising female students to repeal attackers with blood, vomit, urine, high-pitched screams, false threats of sexually transmitted disease, and “passive resistance.”

Thanks for those links. I don’t know if I can participate in a recall for a pol outside my own district but I can donate and offer encouragement. AFAIK my state sen. opposes all these gun control measures. I know my Sheriff does.
Yes, can donate to the cause to gather those signatures. I am. I think it's going to be easy to get them in each of their districts.
I know my Sheriff does.
They were in mass at the capital testifying against these laws earlier this week.
HB 13-1224, the magazine ban has now hit the CO Senate floor.
george76 has the list
I heard about that. That is very heartening. These state pols are setting up a very
dangerous and foolish situation but they're going to be on the losing end of it.
Godd idea...
That and the background checks are the two worst ones IMO. I sure hope it is defeated but I will not comply with any of them in any case.
The R Senators are going over how many businesses this ban will effect.
I guess if Constitutional arguments won’t work, moral arguments won’t work and statistical arguments won’t work maybe the Progressives will yield to hard cash arguments. Whatever works!

Please take a moment and contact these CO State Senators and respectfully ask them to vote NO on the proposed gun control package.
Dittos, FRiend.
This is all so disgusting. I can hardly believe that it’s happening here.
I’m at work all night. Any chance folks here could post more names of these people if they vote for any of this crap? My list is on the state FR board.
Thanks in advance.
It is still going on - HB 13-1224 mag ban. The Dems just shot down an amendment to exempt the military and veterans and it got little ugly.
DUmmie, Ballbreaker Sen Hodges insulted the military by painting a broad brush that they are all sick with PTSD.
The Dems are all sick with hatred of America.
The Rs went in the opposite directions with another amendment to pull all exemptions to the mag size ban legislation that the police and military or whoever would be limited as everyone else in Colorado and to level the playing field. The DUmmies shot that down showing their BS hypocrisy.
The debate is still going on in the senate. About 13 hours now. State Sen. Lambert said on radio this morning that the debate would likely go into next Monday.
Well, that's good. At least it will be a fight. How long will they go into the night? That's not typical is it?
I don’t know how long. Probably around midnight they will shut down until Monday. Now Sen Marble just read an email that about 15 arms business who will not do business with the state of Colorado because they are denying their citizens the same.
That would be sweet if it did.
Screw ‘em.
They make US lose sleep over this crap.
Apparently “Democrat” is the Kenyan word for “Communist”.
