Wouldn’t make any difference if I already owned them. The same goes for ammo and guns. Another reason that you see the increased sales now and a lot of the sales you do not see as they are private sales. Best not to wait and then whine “I wish I would have....”.

Hickenlooper stated that his office is directing the Colorado Department of Public Safety to consult with the Office of the Attorney General to draft and issue technical guidance on how law enforcement agencies should interpret and enforce the law. He said that guidance is expected to be done by the law's July 1 effective date.

Another of these deals where the "law" is signed, but unfinished with new surprises to come. How in the hell can you sign something into "law" and not know what it means and what enforcement will entail?

Sadly, when they do they are always clueless why the place they left is so messed up.

If they were smart enough to figure that out, they'd be smart enough not to be liberals in the first place.

You know these dems political hacks like Hickenlopper and Cuomo must be stupid as hell...

How many times has the dems tried this crap and then they get blown out and basically never see the light of day again for political office...

Cuomo certainly stirred up a hornets nest in NY state...he will pay a heavy political price...

I’m an ex-Californian who got transferred to Colorado in 1991 and have stayed here. Now this place has gone to hell. The cancer occurs when a bunch of liberals move into an urban area (Fort Collins down to Denver) and get government jobs. Then, it helps to have a concentration of universities (Boulder, Colorado State at Fort Collins, etc) with a bunch of liberal know-nothing students voting for every pop cause and candidate. And then you have minority populations clustered around the urban areas who can be reliably counted on to vote for handouts.

Major urban areas are an ideological cancer in the body politic.

If you removed 4 or 5 counties clustered around Denver, Colorado would be a very conservative state.

Same with California. Have 9 coastal counties slide off into the Pacific and it’d be paradise.

I moved to Tulsa from OKC in 1989, having lived in OKC the previous 7 years. Even back then, Tulsa was considerably more liberal than OKC. But, at that time, the Tulsa World editorial staff was (or at least seemed) sane, the city seemed to be well run, and, of course, Tulsa was (and is) a much prettier city than OKC. It seemed a pretty normal place to live.

I moved away in 1991 (transferred to the Texas panhandle) and didn’t return again for any length of time until 1998. Liberalism had set in strongly by then (or at least the results were more visible). Although I worked in Tulsa, we made a point to live outside of town (and tried really hard to, but couldn’t make it outside of Tulsa county).

The local city politics are insanely weird, and it seems that only cookie-cutter, non-functional, rudderless politicians are able to get into office. (Strange, since Tulsa is supposed to be in the Bible belt. Never understood that...) It has gotten very non-functional since the start of the Susan Savage years. It seems to me, in my totally amateur analysis, that things changed significantly during the Clinton years, so I blame it on them and their totally corrupt Arkansas-style politics and all that comes with it.

“Wouldn’t make any difference if I already owned them.”

You are exactly right about that - which is why I bought before the federal government could pass laws preventing the sale of, or extending background checks so there would be a federal record of what I bought and where I live.

Debate starts next week in the senate about their gun bills. I will watch that on CSPAN.

An article from DP. The libertarians are throwing in on the recall efforts in CO.

Libertarian Party that helped Evie Hudak to victory now wants her out of office

Excellent! A loud and painful message needs to be sent.
