    I don't know, don't forget that it costs the plaintiff $$ to file a claim and pay their own lawyers as well. Get Independence Institute or a couple other legal orgs on the first couple cases and let them shred the arguments apart and few lawyers are going to be to excited about giving it another shot.

    The law being passed by CO doesn't require the injured party filing the lawsuit. It will all be Soros and Bloomberg funded. The immunity laws to prevent frivolous lawsuits with no proximate cause were put in place because these tactics have already been done. You may remember some of the big manufactures that succumbed to the pressure a few decades back.

    Interesting. The media is now changing language admitting it is not about “assault weapons” but is about all semi automatic firearms.



    “Colorado Democratic lawmakers killed an ambitious bill Thursday that would have banned the sale and transfer of semiautomatic firearms”

    I?ll give whoever wrote that partial credit for at least calling them what they are: semiautomatic firearms.

    Just paving the way to shift the public away from Assault Weapons to semi auto.. similar to the progression of the media's use of the term illegal alien to undocumented workers to immigrants.

    And the Colorado Republican party has shown that there is likely no hope for any reversal in the make up of the state house and senate.

    They are getting educated as to what the "offending" text is and next year they will have a bill that sounds "nicer" and will be one step closer to passing.

    I completely missed that the waiting period bill passed.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    And that was their entire plan.

    (Waving hands) "Hey everybody, we're going to ban your guns!"

    Everybody - "No! Let's speak out against this at the legislature!"

    Meanwhile, 4 other anti gun bills pass without any pressure at all.

    I think the most effective testimony on bills like this is probably "Hey, the Supreme Court is 6:3 right now, please pass this thing so I can take a case there." Not even joking, I bet it is a significant consideration for why bills like this die considering the makeup of our state...

    I've testified on other bills, but knew this one was going to die (it was decided as much before this testimony).

    I commend those that nevertheless burned a day to show their opposition.
