Kim Weeks, a rape survivor who testified against the gun bills in the legislature, slams Senators Angela Giron and John Morse in a new radio ad launched by the Colorado Women’s Alliance.
In the powerful spot, Weeks tells of Morse and Giron’s “arrogant and dangerous” attitude of ignoring those who showed up to testify against the gun control bills.
During the session, Weeks wrote a chilling essay about her rape on Revealing Politics, arguing against a ban on concealed carry on college campuses that would disarm victims like her. As she ended her essay:
I ask – no, I beg – each Colorado Senator to stop ignoring the voices of citizens like me. Don’t re-victimize me with your legislation.
Please, Colorado, don’t disarm me with your vote.
The concealed carry ban died, but not before Senator Giron voted for it in committee. Had Senators Giron and Morse listened better to the impassioned pleas of citizens testifying, like Kim Weeks so bravely did, they may not be facing recalls right now.
Some politicians just don’t listen.
but Sen. Morse was right in voting to take away guns from abusers.
You feel compassion for her, understanding that nothing is perfect. And you respect and uphold the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights because it's as close to perfect as one can get. Limiting gun ownership guarantees criminal power over victims. Gun ownership keeps government tyranny in check. That alone explains a lot.
outside interests should NOT be allowed to pump so much money into campaigns in a state in which they have no personal investment or interest. Bloomberg does not work here nor does he have investments here. This is a Federal agenda being crammed down our throats.
so what do you do about the equally impassioned woman who begged them to make it impossible for a spousal abuser to have a gun because she was almost murdered with her own gun by a spouse? That woman loves Giron and Morse!
what's sad about the whole thing, is that even if these two politicans get recalled, colorados got too many people from california who cruised over here (yes I'm one of em but I'm ok, left for better employment prospects and I don't want to see colorado turn into that dump) and so what they eventually will do is not give out any ccw permits.
When I was a kid we didn't live in the greatest neighborhood. County I lived in was "shall issue" and so my mom applied for a CCW…. the sheriff wouldn't give her one.
Morse needs to go along with Senator G they don't understand the constitution they understand how to destroy it. The majority of Americans have the right to bear arms. And shall not be infringed. That means women to. So John Morse senator G get the hell out of our system so the people can decide who to elect. And shame on you John Morse and Senator G.
History shows this is a subject every person-hood in your party-hood should avoid if possible.
