I hear so many liberals tell me, "Nobody wants to take your guns away," and I simply don't believe it. If one small microcosm of our country (Colorado) chooses to demonstrate what many of us believe to be true (i.e. registration leads to confiscation), then at least it is isolated in one place - and - it proves our point. It will boost our side of the argument across the rest of the country. All those 'fence sitters' who own guns but don't want to take sides may finally wake up.gljjt wrote:Pretty sure the anti gun CO incumbent Governor won.

"We" lost In Oregon with background checks. The result and the method (billionaire funding) is not encouraging.
Mallory won in CT. This may play out badly (confiscations) in the weeks and months ahead.
Yes it was a great night. But there were a few really bad losses.
Edited for clarity
Are they going to demand from all gun dealers in the state a list of all "assault" weapons (and "high capacity magazines")” sold in the state since (let’s say) 1963? Are they going to search your house for the AR you told them you sold ten years ago? Are they going to start mass warrantless searches?
I am not even going to address the fallout the state would have to deal with from the bloodshed that would surely happen if they tried this.
No, the state completely misjudged the reaction of the people to their “law” and now the best thing they can do is try to pretend it never happened and move on with another tactic.
Game on.
What are they going to do if you tell them you sold it in 1970? You are not required to keep records.
That still leaves that pesky little constitutional requirement that they get a warrant to search your house if they think you are lying.
That could add up to 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000. http://articles.courant.com/2014-02-10/ ... ration-law" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
With all the new gun laws coming out in Connecticut I can’t help wonder how much more the good people of the state will tolerate.
