I've provided the link as the story is copyrighted by KRDO. Upon reading the sheriff's statement I find it pretty crappy that politicians sink to this level. Not suprosing but crappy.

For those behind the “great corporate firewall,” what was said?

He is stating that the legislature is holding pay raises for law enforcement as the carrot to the stick of sheriffs changing their opinions regarding gun control.

That’s only the beginning. Worse is coming. Until we make it stop.

Didn’t Glenn Beck address this the other day? If I heard right, he said to any Sheriff that is having pay withheld, come on the show or contact him...he will (in my words) shin the light on what is going on!!!

Yes, until we make it stop. Check this link from Drudge re California:

Yes, it’s California, but LEO’s who want to do so will be using the “mental” aspect more and more as they get into the confiscation swing of things.

There are people in this country, indeed right here on FR, who do not believe that our government(s) will attempt to engage our nation’s citizendry with tyranny. I have been told that I am an idiot for thinking that We The People are in danger from our own government by someone here on FR. Folks, the wolves are among us.

I stand with any American who stands up for the Constitution and our Republic. I’m doing what I can to identify those in my community who will band together against the tyranny of these thugs.

I wouldn’t doubt it, look at McCain. And probably Romney. McCain thinks it “wacko” to worry that 0bama or any president would “drone me, bro”.

Folks, the dividing line is clear.
If you assume benevolence on the part of government, and think it absurd to be concerned about harm coming from government and those doing the governing,
then you’re on the opposite side of the line of the founders.

Think about it. The very Constitution on which this country is based assumes that government is not to be trusted. It must be chained down to protect the people from it.

There are many ‘false flag’ posters on FR. They have been here since the inception of FR.

The false flag posters usually try to protect the status quo. They generally support GOPe and democrat ideas, while claiming to be acting for the good of conservatives.

It is nothing new.

CodeToad and Tigerseye are two who have today repeatedly denigrated me for believing this government capable of implementing tyranny against the people.

I generally take some things with a grain of salt. but when it comes to the government I tend to err on the side of caution. Even when they want to do something that is a “good idea” I tend to ask “Is it legal and allowed in the Constitution?”

I try to remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

How right you are.

The Constitution is not here to protect us. It wasn’t penned to keep the wolves from preying. It’s there to constantly remind We the People of our God-given rights, and how to beat the crap outa domestic marxist enemies, peacefully or otherwise.

The people mentioned in the article all appear to be illegally possessing firearms. Do you think that felons or mentally ill people should be armed?

Later, I phoned a member of our legislature and expressed concern for what I had witnessed; changing of rules, time limits, new classification of speakers to establish priority and most of all the number of citizens who made the journey to the Capitol in hopes of being heard. I was told the rules did change several times and that this was very unusual. These changes were driven by the majority leadership, Senator John Morse, and the chairperson of the involved hearing committee.

Make no mistake, these Stalinesque tactics are part of a Progressive coup going on all over the country. We have heard that 0bama and Bloomberg both put pressure on CO Dems to push through these anti-2nd Amendment bills. CO is not the only state where this is happening. They have ignored the Bill of Rights, ignored the will of the people, insulted veterans and threatened our country Sheriffs. These people are fascists and they're making their move.

You're a liar. I never said anything to denigrate you. In fact you tried to slap me down hard when I suggested resisting this tyranny. post #46 Now here you are denigrating me behind my back. Who is the mole here?
