The problem is that, even with these two recalls, the Democrats still control the Colorado legislature. Repeal will most likely be a little while in coming.

I would have had a lot more faith in momentum if the attempt to recall would have been successful with 3 of the 5. We might see some more of a shift if the breakaway counties really start to gain momentum. Until then, a strong repeal effort will only occur as a minor miracle. I don't think the majority of the Dems feel as threatened by these results as we all might hope.

It is fantastic that the Colorado voters in two areas made the recalls stick. Overall, however, the original plan was to recall 5 Colorado legislators and they were only successful in forcing those votes on 2 of them.

Some of the reports suggest that this was as much a backlash against Bloomy and his MAIG group trying to buy the election as it was against the CO control. Of course, there were many pro-gun groups pouring money in as well and a list of other factors outside control that came to play in these recalls.

Pro 2nd Amendment citizens still have a long ways to go in Colorado just to get back to even. The gun control laws are still in effect and I haven't seen any substantial push to get them repealed.
