Kinda Odd that there was such a big and historic event in Colorado and the anti-rights forces, and the media (but I repeat myself) have been so silent.
Joan HAS made a VERY minor note in her twitter that indeed they lost hard. Still directly after the recall was conceded by the villains she tweeted about this law in Newtown:
The Legislative Council of Newtown, Conn., unanimously approved a new firearms ordinance that sets limits on recreational shooting, nine months after the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The ordinance details that residents have four hours for shooting after notifying police and said shooting is limited to one person at a time. Target backstops will be required and must be 10 feet above the target, with set distances to neighboring properties. No shooting will be allowed within a half-mile of any school during a school day.
We can talk more about this law later, but it only effects the city of Newtown, and its obviously an anti-gun snit that wouldn’t pass muster anyplace else, and will likely be repealed. This is the most minor victory to distract from a CRUSHING defeat.
The only anti-rights group to talk about it is Moms Demand Action:
The gun lobby may have won this local battle, but they will not win the national war.
True, that’s why we’re still fighting!
From the outset, this recall was designed as a tool of intimidation funded by the gun lobby. What a ridiculous temper tantrum by a bunch of bullies – moms know them when we see them.
Umm, these are state Political Representatives who were not…um….REPRESENTING their constituents, so their constituents fired their asses. This is no more the behavior of a bully as a supervisor firing an employee who has refused to perform their duties. They made their beds and now they lie in them.
Fortunately, the recalls do not impact the new gun laws signed into law earlier this year by Gov. Hickenlooper. The Colorado state legislature did the right thing by passing common-sense gun laws, requiring background checks for all gun buyers and limiting magazines to 15 rounds. This recall doesn’t change those laws – laws that will continue to protect Colorado families from senseless gun violence.
Laughable! First these laws do NOTHING to protect ANYBODY and we know it. Still the funny bit is them attempting to stay resolute in the face of defeat. Hickenlooper is going to have a nightmare keeping his job next year, and the new Republicans will be pushing hard and fast to repeal this horrible law, and I suspect they’ll get it.
Still one must admire their Quixotic stance on the defeat!
Hilarious!
You go right ahead! Fight or don’t fight, the results will be the same. You out-spent the NRA and GOP spending on this recall election and you made it insanely hard to vote by removing absentee ballots, and challenged the very recall laws in court, and you still lost.
What else you got? Come at me, bro!!!

That’s the spirit. 🙂
They won’t stop eh?
But I thought they only wanted background checks!
