DENVER — When President Obama arrives here Wednesday to cheer the state’s newly passed gun control laws, don’t expect Colorado’s county sheriffs to join in the celebration.
At a forum Tuesday, Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith blamed the state’s gun control agenda in part on the White House and characterized this week’s presidential visit as a “victory dance.”
Critics of the measures have accused the White House and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg of orchestrating the state legislature’s push for gun control. The three bills passed the Democrat-controlled legislature last month without a single Republican vote.
“In my opinion, there were marching orders from Bloomberg and from the president, ‘Get this done. We want to own some ground in Colorado,’” said Sheriff Smith at a Tuesday panel on gun control sponsored by the Denver Post. “They’ve done it. The president’s planning to come here and do, I think, a little bit of a victory dance tomorrow that, ‘We got this passed in Colorado.’”

Several county sheriffs have announced that they will not enforce the magazine limit, calling it unenforceable. More than a dozen Colorado sheriffs are slated to attend a press conference Wednesday shortly before the president’s visit to “share their perspective on Colorado’s restrictive gun laws and President Obama’s advocacy visit to the state.”

Thank goodness the sequester isn’t stopping him from flying all over the country on Air Force One to make partisan speeches.
Barry will be dancing his Sandy Hook Rag for all of them typical white folks up in Colofornia.
Wait til Obozo finds out helped return Colorado to the Red column.
We’re setting up to wax the Libs in 2014
This Coloradan wouldn’t walk across the street to spit on that anti-American bum.
To paraphrase China’s opinion today on Apple:
B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, is arrogant, does not care about Americans, and needs adult supervision.
FUBO^gazillion
Not to worry. There will be plenty of “good ‘ol boy” union uniformed occifers to stand behind king hussein. Unarmed of course.
Unfortunately for them, they will soon be treated like black conservatives and persecuted and their characters attacked from hither to yon.
Agreed!
Let’s hope the constituency stand behind their sheriffs.
