The County Sheriffs of Colorado aren’t conceding the stage to President Obama and his gun control butt boy, Governor Hickenlooper.
When Obama rides into town tomorrow for his gun grab “victory dance,” the Sheriffs will be there to present their side of the debate for the press.
Reports The Colorado Observer‘s Valerie Richardson:
DENVER–There may be a few party-crashers when President Obama arrives Wednesday to celebrate Colorado’s newly approved gun-control laws.
Sixteen Colorado county sheriffs announced Tuesday they would hold a press conference shortly before the president’s visit to “share their perspective on Colorado’s restrictive gun laws and President Obama’s advocacy visit to the state.”
The sheriffs’ event is slated for 1 p.m. at Thomas (Fred N.) Memorial Park in Denver, “conveniently located within one mile” of the president’s appearance later that afternoon at the Denver Police Academy, according to the statement.
Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith offered a glimpse of the sheriffs’ perspective at a forum Tuesday at which he blamed the gun-control agenda in part on national political figures and described the presidential visit to Colorado as a “victory dance.”
The gun bills may have been passed and signed, but the fight is far from over.
@ Lynn Beamish – to answer your question, his security detail are highly trained & have had thorough background checks before they can hold those positions. Any peace officer who fails to follow the laws they have sworn to protect, are derelict in performing said duties & should be fired.Quit if you ccan't uphold the laws you took an oath to enforce. You aren't always going to agree with the laws, but you don't get to pick & choose which ones you want to enforce. Background checks don't infringe upon anyone. Do you want felons & the mentally I'll to have access? Not me! Background checks are used for credit, employment, & security clearances to ensure certain minimum standards are met to obtain them.
Good point Lynne and I support these Sheriffs as well. The thing to remember is that when someone asks you why you NEED a gun(s)…just tell them it is not the Bill of Needs…it is the Bill of RIGHTS.
I will move back to TX in a heartbeat if these liberal fascists destroy our beautiful state with their Constitution destructive laws.
Well, we all know that politicians are "more important" than us plebes!
Glad to see them stand there ground.
Not a chemtrail to be found in the sky the day obama is here….next day they were all over….wouldnt have made a good photo op
I'm one of the tourists you have lost. I was thinking of a vacation there, even making it a hunting trip, but I will now plan one for somewhere else.
Proud of law enforcement here in Colorado!! Stand strong! Thank you for defending the constitution!!
Follow on FB at Recall Senator John Morse or on the web at http://www.coloradorecall.com where people can sign up to volunteer even if they don't live in Senate District 11.
Please continue to communicate so we can get involved, sign or what ever it takes to drive home the issue of accountability
It's time we stand-up for the Constitution and Impeach and Arrest those standing against it!
I have a question and maybe someone can answer it for me. If we don't need guns for our safety because it is so much safer without it why does the president need a security detail? If there is no threat, why should he have the security he is denying us?
anyone who voted in favor of those gun control bills is in direct violation of the constitution of the united states and their oath of office Impeach em
Good for them. I'm wondering if the Costilla County Sheriff and the Alamosa County Sheriff have joined that group? If not, will vote them out.
GOD Bless these brave men for actually taking a stand for what they believe in! All of America needs to take their stand as well and prevent this governemnt from steam-rolling over the people and what American's REALLY WANT!
i need anti nausea pills daily 🙂
Obama is on the rockstar tour to every state that has placed limits on Constitutional rights. The play works this way: visit and cheer, encourage another round of limiting rights, and then excoriate state that don't tow hie line. Massive and costly media blitz ensues.
Yet, we can win the war.
SHARE! SHARE! We need folks to show up at this park!!!!!
We need to Keep fighting!!! I would hate having to move to Oklahoma or Texas to keep my guns so I will fight all these SOBs tooth and nail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will stand behind or shoulder to shoulder with these Sheriffs kudos to you fine MEN. But these politicians have an agenda in two years this country will see change that will scare you to death. I demand paper ballots for voting. Pay close attention to what all of these so called public servants are doing, and what kind of laws they are shoving down our throats, federal and local. This jerk killed half of our tourism with a stroke of a pen.
Give em hell! Thank you for your stance and for being true patriots!
I AGREE! Impeach EVERYONE who voted for these bills.
Thank you Colorado Sheriffs who take a stand for our rights! I support you all!
Good for law inforcement that protects our rights as gun owners.
Obama's victory lap is also hampered by the recall petition for Senate President John Morse which received approval from the Secretary of State's office to proceed with obtaining signatures today, April 2. We the People are telling Morse (and his liberal friends like Obama) that representatives who do not listen to their constituents WILL be held accountable.
be prepared.
I can't believe I'm alive, and seeing the day that they're actually trying to take the guns…from my warm, alive, hot blooded American hands. Is this real life?
obama bringing checks and fed. job offers?
They should arrest Obama and Hickenlooper.
How do we get Sheriff Maketa to run for State office when he gets term limited out of office next year?
GOD Bless Terry Maketa
I am so proud that these Sheriffs are standing true to their oath of office. You can bet your bottom dollar that I will continue to support Sheriff Terry Maketa!
If I still lived there I would be In there face tuesday!
