[GoldFinger]

Good quote:
“The state of Colorado is the laughingstock of the country,” Jones said. “We’ve passed an amendment legalizing marijuana that violates federal law and we’ve passed gun laws that violate the Second Amendment. I don’t think passing an ordinance requiring all residents to own an AK-47 is the type of attention Craig wants.”

The first sentence is ok. But the second is not. It's reactionary. No where does it state you must have an AK-47. He's using that particular gun to elicit a visceral, emotional response so others will oppose it.

Agreed, its there for shock value. He grabbed the most evil gun in history. ak47's are more evil than ar15's. Always have been. The ar15 is the diet coke of evil.

Just one calorie, not even enough.

I like the idea of an armed citizen, but I don't want a gov't mandate that says everyone must own one, even if you don't like them. No matter how un-enforceable it is.
