    The only leverage I have left is where and how I spend my money which generates CO State Tax revenue. I will be moving out of the state before the end of the year. I have also chosen to not make major purchases until after I move. I was considering buying a new vehicle. Not anymore while I still live in Colorado.

    I didn’t put in for tags this year, because I refuse to let my money go to support this infringement. Also sucks cause they are now taking money away from conservation.

    As much as I think it sucks that more 2nd amendment advocates leaving, I don’t blame you. When my daughter is done with HS and this places hasn’t changed for the better. I will look to relocate myself somewhere free. Best of luck in you new home

    Funny thing, a goal from our Governor is to reduce the number of internal combustion engines in this state.
    Spend the money gathered from taxes for transport on mass transit projects and studies and not roads.
    So, by NOT buying that vehicle you are also fitting into achieving another goal...

    I think our only chances at SCOTUS relief is if we refer to our guns as ?undocumented??

    The fact that dems can use the words ?due process? for illegals here, while pushing Red Flag laws is a total mash up of Kafka and Huxley.

    I find it interesting that they moved 4 million to defend this. Where did this money come from?

    I'm as encouraged as anyone when I see young kids at the range but I suspect that gun ownership is going to die by attrition in many states. Yeah, I know 50 different members will post up that they took their six year old to the range this afternoon to refute that assertion but I see precious few people lacking gray hair at the range and if a person isn't raised around guns it takes a lot more luck/effort/interest to get into it than for those who consider Hoppe's one of the memorable scents of their youth.

    For the past 20+ years I've been reading on various gun forums how "the courts are our only hope". If past judicial performance is any indication, that's a pie-in-sky hope. I did the email/call/etc thing, that was/is useless when the votes are already bought & paid for before the issue is brought before the public.

    Buy that grail gun you always wanted and enjoy shooting it....and depending on the particular item, maybe get it a little sooner than might be comfortable for your wallet.
