Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Are the Colorado Gun Bills Going to Pass Or Fail?

Anyone have any inside info as to what the Colorado Senate will do?

Nope. I don't hang with Commies.

The swing vote on the most important bills is Angela Giron from Pueblo.
Giron is VERY liberal - one of the main sponsors of giving illegal aliens in-state tuition rates.
On the other hand her district, while Democratic, is the kind of conservative Democrats. Union, rural, gun owners, etc.
3 democratic house members from this area voted against these gun bills thus turning up the heat.
Giron wants to cozy up to the influence in Denver but will have some problems here at home if she does.
Yesterday she cancelled a town hall meeting with dozens of gun control opponents waiting outside.

Too close to call for me.

No offense but I would say its a one deal. Especially if she canceled an event like that

Basically the Front Range has the numbers. There have been several recall papers served to back stabbing flip floppers. The heat is on for sure, but I thought Romney might win too.

Certainly no offense taken.
I've considered the same thing.

Even when it is over it may not be over.

I recall rhe reaction after the Clinton gun control legislation.
Violent crime increased, 40 democratic house members lost their jobs, and Columbine linked him forever to the failed legislation.

NRA membership has increased by over 250,000 since Obama began this foolish initiative.

what are the gun bills? or are they the same ones from a few weeks ago with the magazine capacity restrictions, no more FTF etc

Latest notice I have received...

URGENT!!!! URGENT!!!! URGENT!!!

The Democrat leadership has changed the process for the gun hearings AGAIN. It appears they are now going to take testimony and vote on each bill one at a time. They are giving the opposition three minutes for each witness, for a total of 90 minutes, followed by the proponents being given their 90 minutes. Following the public testimony, the committee members will then debate/discuss each bill prior to the vote, and then proceed to the next bill. So, I would assume each bill will take a minimum of 3.5 to 4 hours each. To make matters worse, they have rearranged the order of bills on the calendar and have moved HB 1226, the concealed carry bill, to the very end of the State Affairs Committee calendar. Therefore, if we start at 10:30 and take four hours each on the first two bills, we would not get to the concealed carry bill, the most publically controversial bill the committee until 6:30PM. I believe the Democrats have purposely scheduled the calendar in this manner to ensure that the most powerful testimony of the day will not occur until it is too late for the afternoon news.

Needless to say I am getting just a little frustrated with the way the Democrat leadership is changing the rules of the game every 24 hours.

Please plan your day according:

IF each bill goes the full four hours, then the following is what calendar MIGHT look like. Obviously, IF any bill is heard for LESS than the allotted four hours, then the following times would change accordingly.

State Affairs Committee (Senate Committee RM 356, third floor of the Capitol)
*10:30-2:30
HB 1229 - Universal Background Checks
*2:30-6:30
HB 1228 - Background fees
*6:30-10:30
HB 1226 - Prohibiting Concealed Carry on college campus

Judiciary Committee (Old Supreme Court Chambers, second floor of the Capitol)
*10:30-2:30
SB 197 - Prohibition of gun possession while under a restraining order
*2:30-6:30
HB 1224 - Limiting the size of magazines
*6:30-10:30
SB 196 - Assault Weapons ban
*10:30-2:30
SB 195 - CCW training

They will pass. The minds are already made up, the payoffs in. My feelings on talking to the clowns was that they were being polite (as I was), but would do the party line.

I will be there as late as need be along with my folks too. As my mom put it, she may be in her 60's but she is fighting this to leave a Colorado suitable for her grandson. I love that woman!

Poll results from the Pueblo Chieftain this morning.

31% support
69% oppose

the swing vote is from this district

I heard Dudley Rown of RMGO on the radio this morning and he said they are a slam dunk to pass out of committee. The battle will be on the floor of the Senate and will likely come down to one vote.

Senator Giron's blog
Win or lose the next update should be revealing

My quick checks this morning was that ALL SEVEN gun control bills passed through the respective committees yesterday.

Where's all the little [bleep] around here that always claim there is no difference between the parties?

Where are the Dimocrap liars who say their commie buds aren't out for our guns.

From what I've heard , you would have to go through background check even if you sell locally ....FTF in Colorado. You would also be held Liable if you Sold to someone who later commits a Crime thereby forcing you to acquire some type of Insurance covering this possibility . Looks like the Gun Ban philosophy is to make it extremely costly to obtain any Firearms ....the same as the NY attempt to limit ownership .

Yep, and the shotgun you have, if it isn't a double barrel may be outlawed under the mag ban. I've got an AR I can keep, but its starting to look like the SBE II I have is going to be againest the law.

They ain't going to ban NSAQAM's bolt guns are they?

Maybe he can come on here again and tell us Progressive Dems are gun owners' friend's.
