Free Stuff: It Gets “Petitions” Signed

Encountered this morning via Facebook:

Relatively straightforward proposal: sign Rocky Mountain Gun Owners' online petition to repeal gun safety bills signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper, and be entered into a drawing to win a brand new FNH USA .40 caliber automatic pistol! In case you're wondering, the FNH FNP-40 sells for $400-$500, though probably more for a stainless steel model, and ships with both 10 and 14-round magazines.

Now, of course, it's not any kind of official petition to repeal anything or recall anyone, but you do get the bonus of signing up for RMGO's blast email list. And naturally, we'd expect to see these "petition signatures" delivered to Gov. Hickenlooper at some point with great fanfare and lots of conservative news website coverage.

When that happens, let's just all please try to remember these are more contest entries than petition signatures.

    Please. Do you think anybody pays attention to Progress Now and Moveon? They should give away something too.

    I assure you the sleeping giant Democrats have awakened is very real. You are going to pay dearly in 2014 for your assault on gun rights.

    • BlueCat says:

      Yeah and Romney was going to win in a landslide and Rs were going to increase their majority in the House and win the Senate and win both houses here in Colorado and… blah, blah blah, blah, blah.  Go take a nap or something.

    • AristotleAristotle says:

      …. says the guy who boldy predicted a Romney victory in Colorado. You're quite the soothsayer, A-GOrP!

      • ArapaGOPArapaGOP says:

        It's fair to hold that against me, but you can only do it for so long. The next election is coming, and Colorado Democrats are overreaching. 2014 will be different.

        • Curmudgeon says:

          Do we get to factor in the months you were in hiding, because you didn't have the guts to face how wrong you were?

        • BlueCat says:

          We aren't holding it against you. It's just one of the many reasons why we don't think you know WTF you're talking about. Track record matters where credibility is concerned and yours is pretty awful.

          • ClubTwittyClubTwitty says:

            Against you?  Hardly.  We’re holding it up as an example of the quality of your work.  Romney in a landslide.  That first debate cinched it if I recall.  Obama never did recover. 

            I kid.  Romney was great it was just all that free stuff that Obama gave away.  All it’ll take is $10 M worth of talking at those folks your party has just spent 4+ years disparaging and denigrating …  A little polish and that turd'll shine up nicely for 2014. Scared we are.  Who you putting up against Udall again?  I hear Dan Maes is plotting a comeback, and Tommy T’s been seen around like he never even abandoned ship as the rat he is just to advance his own craven image.  Two fine contenders right there! 

    • DavidThi808DavidThi808 says:

      I think ArapaGOP is right. The Republicans proved in '12 that running on a platform of anti civil unions, anti immigrants, and pro God was the ticket to winning across the state. Colorado voters overwhelminly went for… uh… oops…

      ps – We didn't assult gun rights. 

    • Curmudgeon says:

      Again, with the "Sleeping Giant" fantasy….apparently, the giant slept through the 2012 election. Remember? How it was going to be retribution for "Obamacare"?  

      Perhaps a name change is in order, say….. "The Developmentally Disabled, Shrieking with Impotent Rage, Out of Touch and Swiftly Running Out of Time Giant"?

  2. BlueCat says:

    Love the quote they selected…."The inconvenIence is worth it…".  Seriously?  Is that the most damning, inflammatory thing they could find?  The outrage of "inconvenience"?   What else have they got?  Bumper stickers that read "DEATH BEFORE INCONVENIENCE!!!"? What a bunch of clowns.

  3. Albert J. Nock says:

    SO when people sign a real petition to increase taxes on other people, so they may receive more stuff,  it is really a contest entry…

     

    • ClubTwittyClubTwitty says:

      I agree we should repeal TABOR.  Glad you are on board Nocky.

    • ClubTwittyClubTwitty says:

      And just to be clear, you mean 'stuff' like:

      Wildfire protection?  Schools?  Socialistic havens where they let anyone off the street borrow copyrighted publications…FOR FREE????  The horror!  The HORROR!  It’s like a local community!  Community…communism!!  Nocky we have solved it!  It’s all collectivist programming!  Damn that postal service…oh wait, postal roads ARE constitutional!  I am so confused, Albert.  Please explain yourself in more detail.  Or actually don't.

        Dear Sub Witty,

        I can tell you 1 thing, if you think Libraries should be allowed to distribute, then there is no way you can stand for IP and copyright. Rather hypocritical don’t you think.

        By the way, don’t pull the Washington Monument gambit on me.  Of course there are reasons to have SOME government, in the most limited form.

        • ajb says:

          So exactly what current government functions would you eliminate? Let's keep it easy and start at the state level.

        • ClubTwittyClubTwitty says:

          First, this is of course proposterous:

          if you think Libraries should be allowed to distribute, then there is no way you can stand for IP and copyright

          As it turns out, I can and do.  Exploding Nockwurst.

          PS: Ben Franklin was a Franco-phile library-lovin' collectivist!  Spell it out Nockster, son't be shy.  What is its most limited form?  Restaurant inspections?  Or is food borne illness the Free Market working its magic? 

          • BlueCat says:

            Hey if your kid dies from tainted food you can take your busines elsewhere.  Free market has solved the problem. Maybe too late for your kid but the free market "philosophy" is so much more sacred than actual  flesh and blood kids. It's a "principle', an "ideal", an "ideology", after all.  Lets not be so vulgar as to put considerations of  a merely material nature,  such as the well being of snot nosed kids,  ahead of all of that.
