So now what for Colorado?

[Cylinder Head]

Barack's hopes and dreams of a disarmed society are quickly fading and leaving Hick, Morse, DeGette and Rap Sheet Fields out in the cold. Colorado was supposed to be their beachhead and now there are no reinforcements coming. Bloomberg's promises will ring hollow and the blame game has begun.

We can't rest, we need to keep pushing, but what do we do?

Since the Colorado laws are already signed and set to take effect July 1, the possibility of getting any repeal effort through the state legislature is nil, the possibility of addressing these laws through the state courts is questionable at best, it seems to me that we must use the Liberals tactics of incrementalism to our benefit.

Although, in our case we must make incrementalism happen in years not decades.

Recall movements need to advance. We need to get the most offensive of these state legislators out of office as soon as possible.

Then we need to get pro-Constitution voters involved, registered and out for every local and state election.

We need to support, finaicially and through our efforts, Constitutional candidates that truly will support and defend our rights and freedom.

Longer term, after hopefully giving the Democrats the boot from both houses and the governors mansion, we could look at repealing these anti-American laws. But we will need a strong or super majority in both houses to have any hope.

Have a neighbor who has liberal views but is also a hunter and gun owner and he told me a few nights ago he will absolutely not vote for any democrats in the next election. I honestly dont think he's a true liberal but he did vote for the current mess we have here at home and in Washington.

This is not as unusual as many on this forum would like to believe. Democrats do own guns and many hate what has happened. I think 2014 will be very interesting IF the right does not push ANYBODY away, we could have a repeat of 1994. They do of course have to put up a reasonable candidate though. Put up a "women like rape" or "can control pregnancy" buffoon and it will be their own foot they are shooting.

Why? (Sincerely)
I personally feel like it is our best bet. HB1224 was a total over-reach and so poorly written as to be basically unenforceable.
I'm extremely hopeful a judge agrees.

VOTE!

And when that fails, either by the overwhelming "I want gimme gimme" people or the lack of conservatives/libertarians getting off their asses and getting to the voting booths, or both, then what?

I know a LOT of Liberals who feel that Obama has sold them out by failing to keep various promises he made prior to his first election. If he wanted to, he could use his power of Executive Order towards a number of fairly harmless goals that would appease many of his constituents: legalizing gay marriage and preventing discrimination, decriminalizing personal use and possession of marijuana, permitting defaulted student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy, and creating a federal CCW permit allowing citizens to CCW in all 50 states. He obviously has no intention of doing any of that.

I don't find it unusual at all. The thing I cannot fathom is that they can vote for socialism and continue to think they can keep their guns.

Then the people have spoken and it is time to join the "Gimmie Gimmie" crowd. I just hope they don't run out by then.
