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.
At least you were able ro get rid of it.
Resign Chickenlooper, you worthless Socialist.
On Tancredo... It’s already been publicized, that he was a public school teacher and avoided the Vietnam draft by revealing that he was mentally ill. Tancredo’s campaigns have also been predictably colorful.
On the issue of people of Mexican descent, Colorado is much like Texas, with Spanish and Mexican influence interwoven into the whole history of the State. Ranching families of several Colorado generations (as differentiated from many of the newer fake ranchers) are aware of that and tend to inform newer neighbors of the same.
Gessler is probably the most realistic, conservative choice in the CO primary with his desire to repeal bad regulations aand his experience in preventing election fraud.
Ha!
I'll bet he heard about it on the news the morning after he signed the bill.
