CO Governor Signs Sweeping Gun Control Bills Into Law
” According to NBC News, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has signed into law two gun control bills.
The measures also met resistance from magazine-maker Magpul Industries, which said that it would desert its plant about 30 miles from Denver if the proposed magazine limits became law.
Legislators who had opposed new laws restricting gun ownership said on Wednesday the new gun bills may have electoral consequences for state Democrats.
“We’re all in shock here,” state Senator Greg Brophy, a Republican, said on Wednesday. “It turns out this guy who everybody thought was a moderate Democrat is actually a gun-control governor.”
“I think the governor will be replaced by someone who has Colorado values instead of New York City values,” Brophy said. “If Republicans are returned to control we will repeal these bills immediately.”
Magpul was unavailable for comment …

“2nd Amendment? What’s that? Just some old piece of paper written by old, dead, hate-spewing, racist, sexist white dudes in wigs….”
Gotta hand it to them: one thing the Left knows how to do, and that’s wield power.
I’m reminded of an old joke from a buddy of mine, who once said that the only type of “restraint” that Leftists believed in was kept in a drawer in their bedrooms.
Restraint , self-control , discipline … these words are anathema to the progressives .
