NOW I understand what happened in CO

[ZeSpectre]

I have been puzzling for a while over the way things went in Colorado and suddenly I had the one additional piece of information that made it all clear.

Possibly Gov. John Hickenlooper was compromised by his emotional involvement in other recent events.

Colorado governor stuck in ‘nightmare’ ahead of gun bill signing

a colleague was fatally shot the day before he signed into law new gun-control measures.

“To me, the emotional toll was, you know, much deeper than worrying about security.”

Apparently the worst possible time for someone to be making policy decisions.

Hick and the electeds had totally ignored our sides arguments long before this was signed! This may have been a factor but I doubt it.It was just waiting for him to sign it.

As my precher likes to say " One excuse is as good as another." He was gonna sign it in before they started proposing it. Just trying to play the blame game. He needs to be in the unemployment line.

Ah, I see.

His Director of Prisons was not killed until long after the shouting over the bogus gun laws were passed and neither an "assault weapon" nor an "extended capacity magazine" were used to commit the crime not even to mention that the assailant was a felon and could not legally own a weapon. The Colorado laws were a direct result of Bloomberg and the Mayors against Illegal Guns campaign but the only connection the campaign has to "illegal guns" is to make whatever you own illegal.

On a side note to the tragedy of the murder, the father of the gunman was a political contributor to Hickenlooper's campaign and a friend but this information is being squashed by the press.

Hickenlooper has been rabidly against law abiding citizens having legally owned guns his entire political career. This is nothing new. When he was Mayor of Denver he presided over the only AWB in the entire state. Because Denver is also a County they were able to circumvent state law.

He will continue to push for more gun laws for the rest of his political career.

Let's hope Colorado gets a new batch of politicians after elections soon as angry voters bring in new, saner people. Then repeal this emotional, illogical nonsense fast.

I've settling into a more realistic view of what we're going to get, the bills are not going away. But discussing it is politics not gun related.

Being long in the business and politics of Denver Hick has many odd contacts that just keep coming up.
He has a long history of illegal alien connections one in which I believe ended with the shooting death of an off duty Denver cop but it just keeps being ignored by mainstreem media.
