Here it is July 1st and Colorado's new gun law making high capacity magazines illegal to sell to law abiding citizens and hardened criminals. Since I am a law abiding citizen I can no longer purchase one of these items. The only problem with this law is the hardened criminals do not follow the law. Cheyenne Wyoming or Cabella's in Sidney Nebraska is only about a hundred miles away from Denver. I am sure the high capacity magazines are available there for sale.
Now, I will be sleeping more secure knowing that these evil magazines are no longer available in Colorado.

A Post from one of my FaceBook friends
Thought this was clever and sadly true:
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots

Smith & Wesson arming America
After reading this article, Record sales for S&W I have the impulse to comment and spread my opinion.
Why are gun sales so good even though there has recently been many tragedies lately about gun violence. In my opinion, it is not only the feeling that the government is attempting to restrict the 2nd Amendment rights of law abiding citizens. There is also a large mistrust of government has a whole. I have lost count of how many scandals or as the left wants to call them, issues, has come up lately. First it was Benghazi, then the IRS and the DOJ, following with the NSA and the Snowden issue. China and Russia have demonstrated that the US has become a paper tiger under Obama. I am sure I have left some issues out.
I speculate that many feel that it is just a matter of time before the need to have arms to protect their family is just around the corner once anarchy and or a police state smothers this country.

So many issues to comment on
- I am one of the many that don't trust newspapers and main stream news. I guess I am not the only one. Many do not trust news outlets I haven't trusted the so call trusted news media since the 2000 presidential election. The news coverage on this election showed me how slanted that newspapers and broadcast news sources are.
- How will the John Morse recall in Colorado come out? John Morse recall signatures Gun control is a big issue in Colorado and many common citizens are starting to become involved. Many times I think Colorado is the next California. We have a liberal governor, two liberal senators and Denver has a liberal Congress person. The next election will tell if Colorado starts to return to a conservative state or becomes more like California.
- I go to many of these restaurants restaurants respect the 2nd Amendment I don't carry a firearm or intend to carry one. However, I don't want to lose that right if I so chose to carry one. In my opinion all these new gun control laws are just taking freedoms of law abiding citizens away and not doing very much for the violence in this country. Why does violent movies and video games get a pass?
What does Gov Hickenlooper say to Magpul employees?
After reading this article in the Washington times about a Magpul promotion,
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/18/magpul-offers-soon-be-illegal-weaponry-colo-gun-bu/
I wonder what the Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper would say to the 200 Colorado workers that will lose their jobs when Magpul moves their facilities to another state.
I am sure he will put some kind of spin on what he says so that it don't make him look that he intentionally signed the bill into law that made them lose their jobs.
I will be surprised if Hickenlooper runs for re-election that he would be re-elected. His gun control agenda and the reprieve of the Chuckie Cheese killer has hit his popularity hard.
