Colorado governor signs gun control bill
GOOD FOR HIM and I hope other governors will follow his lead!
Note that the bill does not take away anyone's right to own guns and note as well, that the governor also owns guns.
(I'm surprised there's not already a whining thread for the gun nutters on this.)
Hickenloopers signature came less than a day after the head of the states department of corrections, Tom Clements, was shot dead in his home.
From the AP:
The governor of Colorado signed bills Wednesday that put sweeping new restrictions on sales of firearms and ammunition in a state with a pioneer tradition of gun ownership and self-reliance.
The bills thrust Colorado into the national spotlight as a potential test of how far the country might be willing to go with new gun restrictions after the horror of mass killings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.
GOOD FOR HIM and I hope other governors will follow his lead!
Note that the bill does not take away anyone's right to own guns and note as well, that the governor also owns guns.
