Colorado state senators recalled

[Flesh Thorn]

Two Democratic lawmakers in Colorado, including the president of the state Senate, were recalled Tuesday in elections brought about by their support for tougher gun control laws.
According to unofficial results, voters in Colorado Springs favored recalling state Sen. John Morse, the body's president, by 51 percent to 49 percent. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, state Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo was defeated in her recall election, 56 percent to 44 percent.
The Colorado Republican Party called the vote results "a loud and clear message to out-of-touch Democrats across the nation" in a statement released late Tuesday. Colorado's Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, said he was "disappointed by the outcome of the recall elections" before calling on state residents to "refocus again on what unites Coloradans -- creating jobs, educating our children, creating a healthier state -- and on finding ways to keep Colorado moving forward."

Excellent! Government should ENFORCE the gun laws that are on the books. We don't need new laws. No more plea bargaining gun crimes away. Here's a suggestion, mandatory minimum 10 years for any type of gun crime above and beyond any other punishment.

We need to hold lawmakers accountable no matter what the issue!!!!

Which is exactly what they were focused on.

Denver is a fucking "Sanctuary City". Residents in Denver hate that...even the Mexicans. Hickenlooper better watchout he could be next.

Gun laws that are "on the books" are stupid. Why should someone go to prison for 10 years for having a factory capacity magazine in NY, or a piece of empty brass in their floorboard in DC.[/quote]

Your right. I was not clear enough I meant an actual crime commited with a firearm. Not a violation of this new breed
of bullshit feelgood laws that make zero sense.

Political office holders must be held accountable. I live in the DC suburbs, but DC has very stringent gun control laws -- and one of the highest murder rates. Here in Northern Virginia, you can get a concealed carry permit. An armed citizenry is a polite citizenry.
