Thank you for your email. I can't express how deeply I appreciate you
taking your time to contact me regarding the Democrats' unprecedented attack
on our right to self-protection.
This nationwide effort, being pushed and financed by New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, must be stopped. The fact that the White House is having Vice
President Joe Bidden personally calling Colorado Democrat legislators and
pressuring them to vote for these radical bills is unacceptable!!!
Like you, I am saddened by the tragic events here in Aurora and Newtown,
Connecticut, but we are Coloradoans and we can take care of our own. I have
personally spent time with Aurora community to support them during this
horrific healing process. My family and I pray for them and all the victims
of these tragic murders. Like Governor Hickenlooper said after the Aurora
shooting, however, there is no law that we could pass that would have
stopped this sick and evil person from acting out on his evil intentions.
Certainly putting more feel good, legal red tape on law abiding citizens
will do nothing to stop the evils of gun violence.
ALL of the gun bills in the Senate will be heard in TWO committees on
MONDAY, March 4 at 1:30.
Judiciary Committee (Old Supreme Court Chambers, second floor of the
Capitol)
SB 195--CCW training
SB 196--Assault Weapons ban
HB 1224--Limiting the size of magazines
SB ?--Prohibition of gun possession while under a restraining order
State Affairs Committee (Senate Committee RM 356, third floor of the
Capitol)
HB 1226 Prohibiting Concealed Carry on college campus.
HB 1228 Background fees (Poll Tax)
HB 1229 Universal Background Checks
Each witness in each committee will be given a number indicating the order
in which they will testify (think Deli Counter numbered tickets). Each
witness will be given THREE (3) minutes TOTAL to speak on any/all of the
bills being heard before the that specific committee. This will hopefully
allow all interested citizens the ability to testify before both committees
with the knowledge that they will not lose their place in line in either of
the two committees.
Please have your comments well prepared and practiced to ensure that they
are within the allowed three minute time period.
If you are unable to attend on Monday afternoon please feel free to call or
email any of the members of the two committee and let them know your
position on the bills.
