Gun-rights advocates are having trouble digesting a social-media post from a senior advisor to Gov. John Hickenlooper that compares the right to bear arms with the right to bear a ham sandwich.
“’Constitutional rights,’” yes. But #gunrights? Isn’t that like #hamsandwichrights or #lightbulbrights or #bombrights or #humanrights…wait,” says the message from Max Potter, the governor’s senior media adviser, on Twitter.
Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, who’s running for the Republican nomination for governor, said the tweet seems to claim that “there is no Second Amendment,” and called on the governor to explain the message.
“The tweet implies that the governor looks at gun rights in the same way as he [Potter] does, and unless the governor says something to the contrary, that’s what we have to conclude,” said Tancredo.
Nobody from the governor’s office has commented publicly on the tweet, although Hickenlooper chief strategy officer Alan Salazar did re-tweet it.

Victor Head, who ran the successful Pueblo recall campaign against former Democratic state Sen. Angela Giron, said Potter appeared to be mocking the idea that Second Amendment rights can also be referred to as gun rights.
“There’s a lot of things you can attach a different name to that are in the Constitution and that doesn’t make them wrong,” said Head, who leads Pueblo Freedom and Rights. “Hickenlooper can try to sound as moderate as he wants, but obviously he and his whole staff are pretty anti-Second Amendment.”

I once had a girlfriend who threw a ham sandwich at me. Waste of perfectly good ham.
Typical leftist idiotic statement, when you can’t debate the facts.
How could anyone take guy with a name like “Hickenlooper” serious?
That's the kind of profound insight one might expect from a teenager who's high on dope. Bugs Bunny would say "What a maroon!". This guy is the Governor's "senior media adviser"? Really? Do the junior advisers know how to tie their shoes?
When do they ever debate facts in the arena of ideas?
It’s always an attack on the character of those who oppose them, never a discussion of the best solution.

Did she pass a background check and have a licensed to have and carry that sandwich? There should be a law....
Honestly, what is it going to take to get these people arrested? They have violated their oaths, sworn falsely and are intent on creating a despotic regime.
The soapbox is ignored. The ballot box is corrupt. Don’t get me started on the jury box. Do we dare open the fourth box? Or do we sit idle until it is taken away?
Remember that only one-third of the colonists actually supported rebellion. And fewer pledged their lives and fortune. Are we so far gone that no one would do the same?
How much trouble would it take to speak of the intrinsic human right to self-defense?
Fourth box?
Just to clarify, is this the one where the people get so fed up with those who seek to rule over them that they
drag them out of their offices at gunpoint and hang them from the nearest tree?
Just asking.
Oh...that box?!?!
CA....
I don’t know - I was just posing a question...
Something like that.
CAIR and Keith Ellison are deeply saddened.
