CO. Gov says gun control won't affect him politically.

Yes, if you are a Colorado citizen, PLEASE go to this link and let him know what you think of what he said, what you think of the legislation, and that you are not in the minority...From NRAILA: "Even though tens of thousands of pro-gun supporters have voiced their opposition to these measures through public testimony, calls, e-mails and rallies, Governor John Hickenlooper seems to think that your voice is in the minority. When asked about the outpouring number of individuals who have been showing up in Denver to oppose these anti-gun bills, Hickenlooper said, "Not only do they not represent the middle, I don't think they represent the Republican party. I don't think they represent a large number of people.”
How about sending the Gov a note saying those opposing the bills represent you?

If he gets enough letters, maybe he'll change his mind.

This is very true, they often start on how bad gun laws are, and wind around to abortion or gay marriage or legal pot... and just look like hypocrites that only support the freedoms THEY like. Kinda makes them no better than the anti-gunners.Unfortunately far too many 2A proponents are their own worst enemy when it comes to promoting the cause. Take the time to read the posts after any news article that talks of taking 2A rights away and you will see what I am talking about. Unfortunately the posts most read have absolutely no reflection on the real "responsible gun owner" for if they do, then we are SOL.
About the only hope you guys have is for a court to rule that the law violates the Colorado state constitution's right to keep and bear arms. You have a pretty strong state constitution as far as gun rights. Hopefully it comes in handy.
