Gov. Hickenlooper apologizes for how gun control was handled
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Gov. John Hickenlooper told a group of Colorado sheriffs he is sorry for the way last year's gun-control measures were handled, and he acknowledged that the lawmen were shut out of the process.
Answering questions at the County Sheriffs of Colorado conference in Aspen on Friday, the governor said "I would say in the gun stuff, we certainly could have done a better job."
The Aspen Daily News reports Weld County Sheriff John Cooke asked Hickenlooper why he didn't meet with sheriffs before he signed the legislation. The governor said he did not know the lawmen were trying to talk to him until it was too late.
The legislation included new expanded background checks and a 15-round ammunition magazine limit.
Yeh he’s sorry now that Tancredo is running to kick him out.
A five way split in the primary so both ways Bob can win one for the establishment. My preference is Gessler.
Fake ! Vote his @$$ out !
There are plenty of FReepers who come running to denounce him as racist, one trick pony, anti immigrant, etc.

Notice that he did not apologize for IMPLEMENTING gun control, rather he apologized for how the message was communicated.
You are correct. He doesn’t think he did anything wrong.
Governor Hickenlooper took his lead from Governor Cuomo. The law was passed in the dead of night by skipping the lawfully required debate process and cutting any opposition out.
Sounds to me like he’s sorry he didn’t invite lawmen in for some wheeling and dealing.

It is not too late Chicienpooper. You can take many measures now. Lying to get reelected is the way you chose though.
Chickenpooper is only sorry his tyranny is backfiring on him. He isn’t sorry he did it.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
As is the case with all liberal socialists, the crime is not in the doing, but in the getting caught.
A true obamaite...”I didn’t know”!
The “gun stuff”.
Idiot.
Welcome back! Who I would want to live in a state run by Leftists and roaming dopers?
He is only sorry he couldn’t do more.
Should we accept his apology? We should tell him FU...
There’s one thing about being in politics for awhile, as Tancredo has been. He knows how to fight like a man, and will kick Hickenloopers’ ass from one side of the state to the other if he is the R nominee.
I'll believe it when he writes it in his memoirs from prison.
GOPe can't be everywhere at once :-)
