Black day in Colorado

That's it in a nut shell, Yank... Bloomberg, his staff and all of his comrades continually demonstrate a dual standard.. which is one of the things that is the most infuriating... If its not truth.. its BS.

BTW: I had several choices of beer tonight. I did not choose Fat Tire from Colorado and I will write them to tell them why I didn't buy it. I was very vocal when it came to eliminating some very significant spending on business travel, letting each company know why I was no longer a premium customer, as did many others who were just as passionate about not being sexually assaulted or having their wives and daughters gawked at on a pornoscope as a prerequisite to getting on an airplane. Things changed... its all about numbers... write to those that support and those that don't.. spend your money in pro gun states vs anti and let' em know why.. it all adds up in the balance... it does make a difference. Make the effort.

Done: Like your beer but did not buy it today specifically because of anti 2nd amendment measures recently enacted in Colorado. I am urging a boycott of all Colorado products to anyone who will listen.. I believe that economic loss is one of the few measures that law abiding citizens can use against such unilateral Governmental processes. Constitutional Issues require due respect to past and future generations, not mass manipulation, scare tactics and lies. Thank you.

Come on guys, we have a tough enough battle on our hands without fighting among ourselves.

If you want to 'boycott" the state, go ahead. I hope it makes a difference, but I am pretty sure it won't, especially since no one is going to know you are doing it. If you really want to send a message then you need to send a letter to the editor at the Denver Post explaining why you won't come here (so voters might see it) and send a letter to the Governor telling him why you won't come here, and send a letter to the state democratic party and to the legislators who voted for these laws, etc. Not that they would care, but either do something or don't lecture those who are doing what they can.

Simply not coming here means absolutely nothing. Sure the state benefits a lot on tourism but unless you can get several thousand people to boycott and let the state know they are doing so, your threat on a gun forum not to come here does nothing but poke at fellow gun owners who happen to read it.

Same thing with big game permits. There aren't enough to go around and people sometimes wait years to get the most desirable ones. No one will feel bad if more permits become available because some folks don't apply.

You want to make a difference? Send money to pro-gun lobbyists and support pro-gun politicians. If you guys in other states are really that upset about what has happened in Colorado, then I thank you for your concern and appreciate your help. Let me know and I'll tell you who send the checks to.

Let's keep this on point and not talk about how to protect our rights. I didn't vote for any of the fools who are trying to pass these laws, but enough people did that I am stuck with them. I hope to change that next time around but my state is shifting to the left, and I am not sure we can stop it.


I do send $$$ to the NRA, and I also send out letters. As far as lecturing others, you may want to practice what you preach.

If tourism means absolutely nothing, as you stated, than I'm glad not to spend my $$$ in your state any longer. Good luck.
 
Good luck Colorado. I can't say anything that hasn't been said, just hope it doesn't happen here. Maybe those 18 votes they need will not support the ban and it dies on the vine.

I never said "tourism means absolutely nothing." I am sorry if what I wrote was confusing to you. Are you sure you aren't one of our Democratic legislators? Well, anyway, thank you for agreeing to stay out of Colorado; I think we have enough problems as it is.

Your words, not mine.

Seems like you are part of the problem. Good day.
 
Lived there 18 years, and love dit. Kept meaning to go back and get plugged into Defense again, but now I can't. How can a State with Falcon (sorry, Schriever) AFB, Peterson AB, Ft. Carson, The Academy -- and all the ministries -- how can it go so left?

I often wonder what line has to be crossed before the pitchforks come out.
 
How many votes did it take? just a few... the people were shut out.

The other and possibly most effective point is that you have to provide the economic tools and arguments for businesses and opposing politics inside of the system to make a case on their own behalf... The current legislation is being swept in with blinders on and malice toward all, just like the hated security measures.
When industries perceive a negative impact, businesses will speak out and they will be heard. Economics will also drive the politics. If CO and NY see a noticeable drop in revenue... they'll respond... just like the unmighty One did this week when Rand Paul stood his ground.
I'd take the same stand if it were my own state.

I have been around a long time myself. I no longer care whether anyone else agrees with my views or not. Currently five states make my boycott list of any businesses based there. These are New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois in particular, and now Colorado. I would never travel to Colordao prior to their changes but I might have bought products made in that state. Colorado can pass any laws they like, but if they are passing anti gun laws. the state will not get my business. As for travel anywhere I currently travel no farther than an adjacent state to Texas that has a reciprical agreement. I also won't write state legislators, but I joined the NRA this year because of the gun grabbing. I don't control what others do, only what I do. And I am determined not to give business to any state that passes anti gun laws. If I did live in such a State I probably would option to move rather than stick around and wait for change.
I don't expect to change anyone's mind in Colorado by my actions, but as for me, I just try to cut them off from benefiting from the business I do.
 

Heath is waffling again and now says he may not withdraw the bill, but even if that's the case, I think we may now have enough "no" votes to kill it. Frankly I would rather see it killed than withdrawn. If he pulls it we might be more likely to see it again before the session is over.

There is a good chance we may be able to defeat at least three of the seven. I was actually successful in getting one of the "other side" senators to talk to me for awhile last evening, and maybe, just maybe, made some headway. Keeping my fingers crossed. It looks like it will be next week before they all get voted. They are talking about continuing debate tomorrow but I have my doubts, given the predicted weather.

I am actually a bit surprised we are doing as well as we are in this battle. I have been pleased to see the turnout we are getting and it might actually be making some difference! Democracy in action...
 
Don't give up.

I think I ran into the Yoda of the cause. He works at Wally World and has two lazy eyes... no lie... he said: "Yeah, people think the gov't and military are gonna come for their guns, but its never going to happen 'cuz there's more of you than of them..."

Simple, empowering words from Phil, the stand-in gun counter guy.

Another big shocker is that America is NOT a Democracy. We are a Representative Republic where we elect representatives who then make decisions and do our bidding for us. At least, that is the way it is supposed to work. Today, they make decisions not for the people, their constituents, but for their party, their special interests and money."

And the problem is that the weak, lame and lazy have become the majority in too many places, and they are electing those representatives. Those receiving public assistance should not be allowed to vote, it's a conflict of interest.
