The Democrat majority in the 2013 session of the Colorado legislature pushed through new gun control laws requiring universal background checks for any transfer of ownership and restrictions on the capacity of ammunition magazines. They did so over the advice and united objection of the County Sheriffs of Colorado, the association representing the 62 elected Sheriffs in the state.
The Sheriffs crafted a five page memo warning the legislators that the gun control measures they were proposing would be "unenforceable and possibly unconstitutional, while punishing law abiding citizens and doing nothing to reduce violent crime." About twenty of the Sheriffs also showed up at the State Capitol to express their opposition during committee hearings, but the Democrat leadership only allowed one of them to testify.
Advice and public testimony aside, the Democrats ignored the Sheriffs. Subsequently, John Hickenlooper, the Democrat Governor, signed the bills into law.
Sticking to their convictions, 55 of the 62 county sheriffs filed a lawsuit in federal court on May 17 seeking to overturn the legislation on constitutional grounds.
Apparently the Democrats still can't accept the serious disagreement of these front-line law enforcement professionals. According to The Daily Caller, the Colorado Senate Democrats tweeted, “2day CO sheriffs stood in opposition of CO’s new gun laws, but not w/law-abiding citizens, but with criminals. #coleg #Sheriffs4Criminals.”
Really! Our Sheriffs stand with the criminals? If there happened to be any lingering doubt, the Democrats just confirmed who is the grown-up and who is the juvenile in this debate.
Or rather the sheriffs are standing up for common sense.
so ,law abiding gun owners = criminals
when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns...
and when that day comes, I will stand with the outlaws.
These of days of home invasions and thuggery. Protecting ourselves and our families is of utmost importance. Democrats want to take those rights away from us and they are truly the ones siding with the home invaders and thugs who will use weapons of all types to get what they want at the expense of human lives that stand in their way.

Nothing new here. Democrats consider anyone that believes in our Constitutional rights are criminals..........
meant to say, these are days....
It also shows where the sheriffs stand in regards to the 2nd Amendment also.
When they have made law abiding life impossible, then we’re criminals. God bless the Sheriff for standing with them.
F**k the law.
Every sheriff should run for the seat of each and every one of these democrat clowns...
“Sheriffs Stand With Criminals”
...and Progressives proudly stand with Bolsheviks.
IMHO
The democrat party is a criminal enterprise...... they are all thiefs
Liberals call all Americans “criminals” because we are not Communists like them.
Deny us the right to protect and provide for our families and you create the most fearsome and lethal warrior the world has ever known: An American patriot, filled with a terrible resolve.

Democrats just cannot get it through their heads that their 19th Century religion has utterly failed. Not because of any resistance, or not enough money, or because of sabotage from the enemies of progress, but solely because they are BAD ideas that don’t work.
But having no pattern recognition except for their unbending faith in these BAD ideas, they have nothing else. So all they ever do is stand in the way of good ideas, make other people miserable, waste resources of all kinds, and insist that their failures are actually successes.
Socialists need to embrace mass suicide, as long as they don’t try to drag everybody else with them.
“Sheriffs stand with criminals”
Damned dims are calling Constitutionalists criminals! If we report on them calling us criminals... we are also spies that perform espionage (according to anti-FIRST AMENDMENT AG holder).
