Magazine Bill Amended

Nowhere is there any legislation that would convert FFL records into an integrated government data base to track the firearms owned by every individual. The record keeping requirement by FFL has been in place for decades. Why not focus on the legislation currently proposed rather than crying wolf on something that has not been proposed and will in all likelihood never be proposed.

You know, but don't want to admit (since it would neuter your argument) the fact that once this bill is passed, the mass amount of time which will be utilized (taxpayer money) to trace down guns will necessitate a registry. I'm willing to bet you one will be in place (if democrats remain in power) that one will be in place within 5 yrs.

Of course I don't know, and you don't know, but don't want to admit (since it would neuter your straw man argument) that a registry will be necessitated. In fact, I freely admit that it won't happen. Ever. I will gladly take your bet, particularly since the law will go in effect July 1, 2013, if not sooner if it is declared an emergency law, and particularly since the Democrat will be in power for quite some time based on the present state of Republican talent.

lol

I am now of the suspicion that the CO legislature is afraid of passing these gun control bills. Seems that, now, they are dragging their feet, looking for a way out of the pickle in which they have placed themselves. It was all "rah, rah, rah" for a few weeks but now they are getting cold feet and second thoughts about the consequences if they should pass such a slap to the voting public's face.

Why is it a slap to the voting public's face?

Arlen, I hope you are right about them getting cold feet. It looks like Minnesota is also taking a step back, only endorsing background checks despite the Dems owning both the house and senate and the gov. being a dem.

The big weapons bills that passed were done in New York State where legislation was done overnight with the gov. there to sign it. Good laws should be reviewed in due time and let the public comment on it. (Unlike ACA which was passed before it was read.)

What feet dragging? House Bill 1229 passed it's third reading yesterday, so should now be up to final vote.

Colorado voters show an approval rating of over 80% in favor of this bill.

Have a source?

It looks to that they are ignoring the constituents and toeing the national democratic party line at the behest of Joe Biden. Instead of doing what's best for Colorado, they are doing what's best for democrats.

Doing what is best for Democrats is doing what is best for Colorado.

We'll have agree to disagree since we won't know until the next election cycle how many of the current Democrats lose their jobs over gun control issues. Of course then the damage will already be done.

.....and how many of the current Republicans lose their jobs over gun control issues, Colorado is not a red state much as you would like to think it is.
