DEMOCRATS CO-SPONSOR BILL TO REPEAL COLORADO GUN CONTROL

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/02/07/democrats-co-sponsor-bill-to-repeal-colorado-gun-control/

Three Democratic state senators have joined as co-sponsors on a
Republican bill to repeal Colorado’s “high capacity” magazine ban.

State senators Chris Holbert (R-Parker) and John Cooke (R-Greeley)
initially put SB 175 forward. As a sheriff, Cooke made headlines in
2013 with his opposition to proposed gun control measures. Upon its
passage, he ran for office to work for its repeal.

A house version of the bill was put forth by Rep. Steve Humphrey
(R-Severance).

According to the Denver Post, senators Kerry Donovan (D-Vail), Cheri
Jahn (D-Wheat Ridge), and Leroy Garcia (D-Pueblo) all signed onto
SB-175. Representative Ed Vigil (D-Fort Garland) has signed onto the
house version of the bill.

The “high capacity” magazine ban outlaws the sale of any magazine
holding more than 15 rounds in the state of Colorado. Magpul
Industries, a firearm magazine maker that was based in Colorado, left
the state and took the $85 million they generate annually with them
once the law was passed.

There's three Democrats that want to get re-elected in 2016.... they see
the tsunami of Americans voters sweeping the Democrats out of office.

But the truth is they don't believe in anything that real Americans like
the average Plumber and average retail workers believe. And NOW "even
they realize it".

The voters were so upset that they replaced Democrats with Republicans all over the country, from
the halls of Congress down through governors' offices, state legislatures, county commissioners and
supervisors, and city councils.

Apparently what the Democrats accomplished was to piss off America.

It's hilarious that pinkies bitch that Republicans waste time passing bills that Beloved Leader
promises to veto, then turn around and bitch that they haven't passed a budget that Beloved Leader
will veto.

Now that Harry Reid is a nobody, maybe we'll see it happen. If it does, pinkies will be screeching
like stuck pigs.

I agree that Breitbart is a disreputable news source, but here is
the same story as reported by the Denver Post:

http://www.denverpost.com/News/ci_27476771/Democrats-sign-on-to-bill-repealing-ammunition-magazine-limits

Whether the bill will pass is unknown, but remember that just a few
years ago it was almost unthinkable that marijuana would ever be
legalized. Colorado is a very independent state, its residents being
an eclectic mix of stoner hippies, jet-setting skiers, gun-toting
militiamen, and "average" suburbanites. Coloradoans can not be
pigeonholed as easily as one might try to do for residents of the Deep
South or San Francisco. (All southerners are inbred hillbillies and
all SanFranciscoans are left-wing perverts is not exactly true, but
it is close, whereas it is difficult to assign a similar label
to Colorado.)

Personally, I think they should proceed, put the bill on the President's
desk and dare him not to sign it.

Make him have to publically commit to actually rejecting such legislation
rather than by rumors he would do so.

Maybe they should try passing a bill that they know he will sign. Like
one that is actually good for regular Americans.

Ah, I see your definition now. That would have been Hoover, maybe.
Someone in the 1910s. However, the above list isn't entirely accurate,
since the debt goes up by interest on it, whether or not the budget is
balanced. If you use your definition, you not only have to spend less
than you take in, but also take in enough to cover the debt plus a
little. It is certainly true, but I don't think most people think of it
that way.

And also added to that debt is non-budgeted items, for example, to cover

The point is that interest on the debt IS a budgeted item. It does not
create the deficit.

I'm not sure how a "balanced budget amendment" would address these
items. Clearly, the Feds must have *some* flexibility in spending, since
national disasters, wars and the like do occur.

You are welcome. However, keep in mind that things can come up which
will require the borrowing of money. Interest on that money that was
borrowed would become part of next fiscal year's debt service. We just
don't want that happening on a scheduled basis. ;)

Who got it from the Republican playbook .. blame Clinton.

You can go back a ways, to Reagan, Ford, Nixon...

But the question remains.. what are the Republicans going to do about
it?
Why are bills repealing Obamacare and banning abortion more important
than the deficit, which we heard was the #1 priority for years.

Once again, Gary's anal-oriented post reveals a lot more than he
intended.

Besides actually BEING one, what is it about fat liberal assholes like
