According to Heller and McDonald these new laws are Unconstitutional, so take it to the courts!
Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional.
The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state.
The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering.
Good luck guys, there are people behind enemy lines who are pulling for you!
And of course the good people of Colorado!
Fuck Denver!
And lets hope it DOES go to SCOTUS, then all these BS laws will get thrown out (NY, CT, MD, CO, OH)
“Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering.”
I’m just going to say this bluntly: YOU’RE G-DDAMNED RIGHT IT’S POLITICAL MANEUVERING!!! And there’s precisely NOTHING wrong with that!
When you find yourself in an unacceptable or uncomfortable position/environment, you either work to change yourself or you work to change your environment. For simplicity, let’s call this practice “maneuvering.” This lawsuit is an attempt at the latter – changing the environment – by striking down asinine and unenforceable laws, thereby altering the legal landscape, which by definition is “political.” (Incidentally, the sheriffs will likely also win big points with their constituents, which is also “political,” but I doubt it’s a primary motivating factor here.) “Maneuvering” in a “political” setting IS “political maneuvering.” Is it that hard to understand?
Its their stupid double-standards. They’re calling “political maneuvering” like its a shameful behavior…but they won’t say shit when THEY do it.
