CO Gov Hickenlooper Magazine Ban Revelations

And FYI the big weapon they used in the recalls ( 3 for 3) was the IPhone.

One was a resignation in the face of recall - so a "D" replacement could be appointed instead an election.

He's boned and knows it.

Colorado Governor Hickenlooper explains that some staffer committed him to sign the legislation before he had a chance to review it or the facts behind standard capacity magazines. He also admits he didn't explore any of the issues surrounding banning the magazines prior to signing the legislation and only had come to the realization how ineffective the law is after the fact.

This nugget came from the same conversation with Colorado sheriffs where he lied about talking with Bloomberg instead of the sheriffs for advice on crafing the law.

Videos like this need to be shoved in face of our esteemed MA representatives. The need to realize they don't know what they're doing prior hastily to voting for this crap.

Gee, do you think that law would pass even intermediate scrutiny? Bwahahaha (I mean, I'd laugh like that if it wasn't so sad and the law of our land)
 
Hick is standing there lying to the sheriffs. They know it, he knows it. Right up until Bloomberg's $ showed up in town, he said he wasn't going to sign the bills. And it's not only about limiting the mag capacity, it's also about "transferring". Sure, you can own them, but you can't "transfer" them. You cannot lend them to your neighbor, you cannot sell them. That now applies to guns as well, they can only be transferred via background checks. If I lend a revolver to my neighbor- she's in fear for her well being- we're both liable for one year in jail. If I lend that neighbor my shotgun for a day's dove hunting- one year in jail. If, as a range officer during a match, I take your handgun- same thing. Etc, etc, stupid etc.
Hick stands there doing the "aw, shucks" routine, but he's a devious politician, just like the rest. He's not fooling anyone except the reporters. He'll get voted in again on the weight of the illegals, who now can get driver's licenses in Colorado along with the rest of their freebies.
 
both enjoyable and infuriating watching this smarmy bastard spin lies to save his pimply little ass.
 
Allegedly the governor stated he was pressured due to a member of his staff "made a commitment." Of course there is and will be no follow-up.
  • What member?
  • What was the nature of the commitment?
  • To whom was the commitment allegedly made?
Every reporter who gets in front of Hickenlooper from now on should be asking those questions until he provides real answers. Obviously this would force him to concoct more lies. Why let him off?
 
Easy fix - have him send a bill to repeal...

Seriously, this Obama defense of "at no time did the administration know what the administration was doing" is even more offensive than "is is".

If you are that incompetent, then you have no business running a state or country - resign. If you are not incompetent, then you are just a criminal/tyrant.

So, pick one and either door leads to the exit...

Say it aint so!

The remarks, he said Friday, were an effort to apologize to sheriffs who felt their voices weren’t heard during last year’s legislative process, not a disavowal of the magazine ban itself.


“I didn’t say it’s unenforceable, I said it’s difficult to enforce,” Hickenlooper said. “A lot of laws are difficult to enforce; that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be there. If we went through the process again, I’d sign it again.”

Ah, he would do it again.

What about the "yes I know mag limits won't stop any criminal and it wasn't worth further dividing the population over"?

He also acknowledged the heartburn his apparent backpedaling may have caused the families of gun violence victims who supported the tougher gun control laws.


“I didn’t know that this was public, that this was going to be recorded,” Hickenlooper said. “If any of those families — if I caused them any offense, I certainly regret that. A large part of why we went through that process and why those bills got passed is that we didn’t want any family going through what they’ve already had to go through.”

Right, we wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of people trying to burden their neighbors with ridiculous laws.
 
Maybe he should go into the history books along with John Morse , the first senator recalled in Colorado HISTORY . I meant wikipeidia.
I wonder how the former senator likes being unemployed and in the history books. Isn't he up for election in '14?
ggboy
 
Hick will go into the history books as the man who "fundamentally changed" (heard that term before?) Colorado. The gun laws were the catalyst for the exodus from Colorado. He's welcomed the illegals in, made the citizens unwelcome. I'll always think of Colorado as home, but I'm never going back. It's changed, it's changing further, and it won't change back.

"Progressives" in both parties are pushing us into a "Culture War" between city dwellers and non-city dwellers. Unfortunately, they are and will use density and the "tyranny of the majority" to great effect.

They are radicalizing a dependent class of useful idiots to the point where they refuse to coexist with self-sufficient or at least "independent" people who don't live in cities. They cast us as "backward", "ignorant" and worse to come where it isn't on the way, because we refuse to adopt their lifestyle, culture or delusions.

We are seeing this played over and over - inside "the beltway" of most major metro areas around the country is a class of self-styled elite who are concentrating power and projecting the problems of their lifestyle on those outside their cities.

MA outside 495 has to disarm because Boston and surrounding communities are witnessing a break-down of the social contract in isolated areas as a result of their welfare state, war on drugs and the numerous moral hazards that socialism causes.

CA, NY, CT, MA and now CO and MD have done this. VA is seeing the same thing from DC radiating (the bad kind) outward as well.

Yes? [wink]

This would be the implicit agreement of civilization itself that underpins our species as a cooperative "social" animal with a base level of trust in, or at least distaste for bringing harm to other humans as the default assumption.

Contrast this with other predators who generally require much lower population densities to avoid violence than humans.

Though even amongst alpha-predators, there is often some level of professional courtesy amongst a given species. Cannibalism is generally the exception rather than the rule as it is counter-productive to your species if not controlled.

I was referring to what happens in high-density population centers that fail to develop a sense of community, ethics or morals to combat the antagonistic effect of density itself. That is, if you are going to live in a large city, you need good parenting, not relinquishing responsibility for your children to the state.

It is a "stress" on our species, like all others, beyond some long passed equilibrium point to live in such proximity and that stress shows itself in violence.

This is the "mechanism" which allows us to throw 6,000lb hunks of metal (cars) down the highway a foot away from the next car without far more people than already are being killed or injured because "that guy cut me off".
