Colorado legislature throwing out Second amendment

[CaGOPatriot]

The democrats are starting to get a stranglehold on the Second amendment in Colorado. We can only hope the Supreme Court upholds the Constitution and stops them.

DO NOT SIGN THE REGISTRATION. THEY WONT KNOW IF YOU DONT (unless you are careless with your guns). When the next massacre happens, they'll say that registration wasn't enough, and then tell you confiscation is the only option. Then your name will be on a fucking list.

Well, CO Democrats, enjoy your time as a majority in the state legislature, because the Republicans will clean house come 2014.

What do background checks have to do with the constitution?

"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms"
-- Antonin Scalia; from majority opinion District of Columbia v. Heller

Those gun free school zones have really done their job! Something wrong with firing half the security in schools, in order to pay for two fully trained armed bodyguards instead? The elite have them in their schools.

You want the Supreme Court to review this law?

lol, you're in conflict with the conservative consensus around here that the Constitution does not give the Supreme Court the power of judicial review.

Colorado is very conservative but there are the large liberal population centers in Denver and Boulder that control the rest of the state. Colorado should deal with Denver like Illinois deals with Chicago and Michigan deals with Detroit. Start isolating these mega cities until they destroy themselves from within.

Well, CO Democrats, enjoy your time as a majority in the state legislature, because the Republicans will clean house come 2014.

And the Democrats will be sitting in the rubble the next day, wondering what the fuck happened.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Dems are about to get pummeled in that state next year. That law will be reversed.

It will be tough. Lots of Ney York $$ coming in, and retarded Republicans may take some heat off 2nd amendment issues, but they wont do to much to fix it. Unarmed citizen serve republican purposes to. And the Pot lobby will campaign against them as well.

What Nazis! What tyrants!!!!

They want a person to have to pass a background check to purchase the most effective killing tool available.

GASP! They are the new USSR!

[NYcarbineer]

Background checks don't violate the 2nd amendment.

 

[Oscar Wao]

To the OP: They don't violate the 2nd, though. They violate the 4th.

 

[Truthmatters]

the right wing scotus has already said that gun laws are perfectly constitutional

do you people ever get tired of lying to yourselves?

 

[CaGOPatriot]

How can the government making lists of gun owners so their guns can be confiscated not violate the Second amendment?

I think you're grossly underestimating the backlash this is going to have next year, but hey laugh away. You won't be later.
