President Obama has now addressed the seventh mass shooting of his presidency, and we certainly heard the weariness in his voice Monday as spoke about the massacre at the Washington Navy Yard: “It’s a shooting that targeted our military and civilian personnel. These are men and women who were going to work, doing their job, protecting all of us. They’re patriots, and they know the dangers of serving abroad, but today they faced the unimaginable violence that they wouldn’t have expected here at home.”
As a state legislator now branded by the word “recalled,” I can identify with that weariness. Gun legislation has stalled in Congress because lawmakers fear the fate I suffered — being targeted, voted out or recalled by extremist political activists because of views on firearms safety that dare challenge the gun lobby. The recall fight that my colleague, Colorado Senate President John Morse, and I lost demonstrated that no matter the cost of our political positions, common-sense gun-safety legislation is achievable. Colorado’s newest gun-safety laws have been in effect for months, and the recalls have no bearing on them. The legislation we helped pass proves that the gun lobby can be beaten.
Sen. Morse and I started the 2013 legislative session amid a constituent outcry to curb gun violence in our communities. The movie theater shooting in Aurora last summer and the Newtown massacre in Connecticut had brought guns to the forefront of our agenda. We passed laws that extended our state’s background-check system to include private sales, to keep guns out of the hands of criminals; limited ammunition magazines to 15 rounds; and made sure that domestic abusers aren’t allowed to buy or keep guns.
Each of these laws is already making Colorado safer....

Dear Democratic Failed Tw(i)t,
What you can only see as “the gun lobby”, are the very folks that voted you out of office!
THEY are the people, who, look upon their own self-preservation, as a self-responsioble act, in actually standing and facing the threat, and NOT acting like spineless cowards, hiding behind their bed, waiting for a federalized, militarized police force, that the Supreme Court has ruled, has no business affording the American citizen, safety and protection!
The People of Colorado have told you, loud and clear, WE DON’T NEED YOU!
Too bad the people that are supposed to be working to protect us can’t protect themselves.
STFUbeotch!

Wait... Isn’t that the same thing he said after the Ft Hood massacre?
Ms. Giron, you is one sick puppy. Please seek professional help.
Great sign!!!

Recycling.
Be careful how you use that word. I suspect there is very little about Ms. Giron that is democratic.
Now there is a real anti fast food campaign!
I still haven't decided if I'm going to run for state rep (against Dave Young). Energy and immigration seem to be the big issues here, but my primary platform would be repeal of those stupid unenforceable gun laws.
Yeah, Angela, you lying scumbag....Obama addresses the seventh massing shooting of his presidency....and all those shootings were done by liberal Obama supporters!
STF Up, Angie.
Ping!
Yep! Stupid and delusional. And better yet, RECALLED!
Go iron a shirt, honey...
It was just a week or so ago that she said that she was recalled by racists. Fact is, she was just recalled by her former constituents that had had enough of her. G'bye Angela, your fifteen minutes are over. Now shut up and go away.
I propose, to keep America safe, we don't let Democrats in the White House.
Problem solved.
(And how has making a maniac reload more often made Colorado safer?)
Well, some of America will get skinnier just because of the packaging...
Can I have an order of egotism with a side of hubris, please? Supersize it, too!
You hungry? NOT NO MO!!!
“But would you hit it ?”
FRiend, you are one very twisted pup. I happen to like that in a person.
OMG! Now there’s a mental picture for you. So if you’ll pardon me, I gotta go shove my finger down my throat. And go take a shower. And scrub my skin with some scouring powder.
