In this post, we won’t indulge the policy arguments against the gun grab being waged by legislative Democrats. They are obvious. If more gun laws were actually a prescription for making a community safe, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wouldn’t preside over the least safe city in America.
Rather, we want to focus in on the politics of the gun vote.
We think the Democrats are on the verge of committing political Hari-Kari.
President Bill Clinton has been the most outspoken about how foolhardy this gun drive is. He told Politico that a lot of Democratic legislators will lose their job over these votes.
We highlighted Vigil on Monday. He echoed Clinton’s sentiments when he said that Senate President John Morse’s gun grab was “crazy…absolutely nuts.”
Now another statehouse Democratic big-shot is issuing her own warning.
Reports The Colorado Observer:
While she didn’t speak directly to the Morse lawsuit proposal, State Senator Lois Tochtrop (D-Thornton) echoed Clinton’s warning that Democrats representing purple districts “have to be very careful to vote their district’s sentiment” on the gun issue.
“I think Clinton is right on for the state of Colorado,” Tochtrop said of the former president’s remarks. “There is a lot of hysteria on both sides. I think we have to be moderate on these issues.”
Are you hearing that West Slope Rep. Mike McLaughlin? What about you NoCo Rep. Dave Young? How about you Senator Jeanne Nicholson?
One of the vulnerabilities of Democrats controlling the large majorities they do is having numerous Democrats represent areas where 2nd Amendment rights are taken very seriously. Falling in lock step on gun control behind their legislative leadership, entirely from the Boulder-Denver corridor, could be very risky to these legislators’ political careers.
The Secret Service is already operating in Colorado to arrest sheriffs if they do not get in line with the Gov. Hickenloopers. sb 13-013

I guess if criminals will be the only ones that can have guns, I'll become a criminal. I'm watching and I vote!
Hell, I don't. I haven't gotten enough product yet
I REALLY want the demoncraps to put these bans through. It will END their reign of tyranny in the Great State of Colorado for decades.
If you lawmakers no matter who you are want to take away our guns in Colorado you will loose your job. Our gun rights here as in every state is very important to our safety. I for one was saved by my right to carry a concealed weapon over a most ridiculous reason…a bumper sticker on my car that had Romney on it. In short the idiot behind me began yelling profanities out his window then proceeded to follow me at a very close range so instead of letting him hit me I pulled to the side of the road and he pulls in front of me jumps out of his car with tire iron in hand proceeds to hit my car and was coming at me. It wasn't until I pulled my S&W 9mm that he backed off saving my life. I am a disabled man with disabled plates on my car so I assume he thought I would be an easy target for being A Republican voter because of my bumper sticker. Its because obama has cause so much division among us that it is even more important now that we continue to keep our rights to bear Arms….take away my guns and only the criminals will have them and us law abiding people will be left defenceless and that is just wrong.
Both my wife and I are responsible gun owners and gun carriers for our safety and for our safety only and that of any other defenceless person we may come across. I can see a major revolt if a gun grab goes into affect and I also see any lawmaker that votes to take away our guns loosing their job. Listen to the people after all you work for us in case you have forgotten that like it seem so many of you have…WAKE UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING
