Colorado Shooting Competition Canceled in Wake of New Gun Control Laws
An estimated 300-plus shooters from the neighboring states and across the country were expected to attend the three-day competitive shooting event. This is the second shooting competition to abandon the state after a recent announcement by firearms maker Ruger that it was moving the 2013 Ruger Rimfire Challenge World Championship out of Colorado.
"With these new Colorado laws going into effect July 1, and based on the ambiguous way in which they were written, we have decided to cancel the Rocky Mountain Western States Regional IDPA Championship," said event organizer Walt Proulx of Grand Junction.
"Due to the growing number of hunters and shooters choosing to boycott Colorado, and the risk that these laws as written will turn law-abiding citizens into criminals, we were left with no other choice but to cancel what was planned to be one of IDPA's major regional championships, and one strongly supported by Montrose-area businesses."
And in other news...Democrats look to voters to increase tax burden by $1 billion.
So they kill jobs and tourism which generate millions of dollars in tax revenue then look to the serfs to raise taxes, which confirms the following...Liberal logic = oxymoron.
Huge school finance changes under debate in Colo.
The funding changes would take effect only if voters approve more than $1 billion in new taxes this fall.
What stupid looks like and thinks is a good idea...

ANOTHER TAX PROPOSAL: Democrats Propose State Run Insurance Plan
UPDATE: We’ve received some questions about whether this enormous tax hike is percentage points (e.g., going from 1% to 7%) or if it’s just a percentage tax hike (e.g., going from 1% to 1.06%). The horrific news is that it would be a percentage points tax hike, so an additional percentage amount on the percent paid.
Here’s an excerpt from the bill’s language:
(a) A SIX PERCENT PAYROLL PREMIUM FROM EMPLOYERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SPONSORING THE COOPERATIVE HEALTH PLAN;
(b) A THREE PERCENT PAYROLL PREMIUM FROM EMPLOYEES, OF WHICH THE EMPLOYER MAY PAY ALL OR PART OF THE EMPLOYEE PORTION OF THE PREMIUM;
(c) A SIX PERCENT EMPLOYER’S PREMIUM AND A THREE PERCENT EMPLOYEE’S PREMIUM FROM SELF-EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS;
(d) A NINE PERCENT PREMIUM ON ALL INCOME THAT DOES NOT COME FROM COLORADO PAYROLL OR COLORADO SELF-EMPLOYMENT, EXCLUDING PENSION, SOCIAL SECURITY, CHILD SUPPORT, AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE INCOME
Well, well, well...another lazy democrat. No surprise here.
How embarassing...guess she didn't learn her lesson when convicted felon Fields was spotted catching some zzzz's earlier this week. What a bunch of losers we have running the show.
