Of course it has....having seen how difficult it was to get someone out of office when that person had such a vast number of voters angry over multiple issues..... A recall over a single issue, gun laws, which polls show most voters approve of the limited restrictions imposed should be even more difficult.Rick wrote:

We didn't get our way so we are going to spend a lot of money to punish the duly elected official and the community. It's your right, so have at it.
The Evergreen recall bunch represent an even smaller portion of the electorate..... Those who live within a stones throw off the burn building.

A biased two face. A lot of people around here present you with numbers and FACTS all the time, but all YOU have is insults, talking points and b.s. Surprised your ridiculous threads don't all get transferred to THE RING, including the threads you pollute on a regular basis.
EDIT: And I mean the WHOLE thread, not just "certain posts."

Gov: Convicted killers, rapists try beating checks
DENVER - Gov. John Hickenlooper unleashed a barrage of jaw-dropping numbers for critics who often tell him, “Criminals aren’t stupid, they’re not going to sign up for (gun) background checks.”
“Well, no one told the criminals that, and it turns out that many criminals are stupid," Hickenlooper said Wednesday after signing legislation requiring universal background checks for gun purchases.
In 2012, he said, background checks prevented 5,000 gun purchases out of more than 320,000 applications.
Of those blocked gun sales, Hickenlooper said:
- 38 were individuals either accused or convicted of homicide.
- 133 were people accused or convicted of sexual assault.
- 600 were people accused or convicted of burglary.
- Over 1,000 were people accused or convicted of felony assault.
- “400 individuals had restraining orders against them from a court and were trying to buy a gun.”
"Indeed, if you want any proof positive that criminals are not as smart as some people give them credit for, 236 individuals when they showed up to pick up their newly purchased gun, we arrested them because there were outstanding arrest warrants for them,” the governor said.
