FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports, while any Democrat with a sense of self-preservation cringes: “It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles,” [Rep. Joe] Salazar said on the House floor. “Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know […]
In a press release from Colorado House Democrats a short while ago: HB13-1229, closing the loophole on background checks for firearms purchasers, passed 36-29. HB13-1228, ending the taxpayer subsidy for gun buyers’ background checks, passed 33-32. HB13-1224, limiting the sale, purchase or transfer of firearms magazines that can hold more than 15 bullets or eight shotgun […]
Responding to underreported but fierce criticism over Gov. John Hickenlooper's comments before a United States Senate committee last week about his experience with drinking "fracking fluid," he and his various proxies have tried to claim that his remarks have been "misinterpreted"–by legitimate media outlets, and the armies of right-wing bloggers, "news" aggregators, and pro-energy industry commentators who have gleefully […]
In the Denver Post's opinion section yesterday, their 'Day's Worst" item comes from a Durango Herald story that makes public a poorly-kept secret at the Capitol: legislators, generally but not exclusively Republican, routinely violate Colorado law, and carry concealed weapons into the Colorado State Capitol's gun-free zone. The Post says, "If anyone, state lawmakers ought to […]
Continuing on a surprisingly rich line of inquiry, that is the wide-ranging falsehoods employed by gun proponents in Colorado as the General Assembly debates legislation to reduce gun violence. Yesterday, we revealed that Colorado Republicans are claiming in outreach material to constituents that Democrats are working to "prohibit and criminalize the private transfer of firearms"–which no […]
One of the regular Polsters around here, "The realist," brings our attention to a gun rights debate at the University of Denver two weeks ago. The discussion is a reminder that some of our elected officials are, uh, less smart than others. Take Sen. Randy Baumgardner, for example, who gleefully used the newest gun lover […]
UPDATE: A reader reports the same openly false statements about HB13-1229 were sent in emails from numerous other Republican legislators, including Rep. Ray Scott and Rep. Kevin Priola. We're working to confirm–bad form, Republicans. —– Are you curious why armies of demonstrators are converging on the state Capitol, in a state of panic that Democrats in the […]
UPDATE: Conservation Colorado blasts Gov. John Hickenlooper in a statement a short while ago: Conservation Colorado Deputy Director Carrie Curtiss released the following statement on Governor Hickenlooper’s comments in front of a U.S. Senate Energy and Environment Committee today: "Looks like Governor Hickenlooper really drank the frack-aid on this one. We're astounded that Governor Hickenlooper […]
As reported by Nic Turiciano of the Denver Post today, above is video we received of GOP Rep. Mike Coffman, speaking yesterday at a forum on immigration policy at St. Therese Catholic Church in Aurora. Yesterday's forum before a packed crowd also included U.S. Rep. Jared Polis and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. For anyone familiar with Rep. Coffman's […]
UPDATE: A little more information on this bill's origins from the respected DeSmogBlog–the right wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), yet again… One sure sign of a coordinated, ALEC-lead effort is the fact that Colorado's state legislature introduced the ALEC model on the same day as did Oklahoma's. The two states, it's worth noting, share a border on […]
