DENVER — Colorado´s Gov. John Hickenlooper said "the time is right" for state lawmakers to consider gun control measures, offering his firmest stance in the aftermath of several high-profile shootings, including a movie theater rampage in suburban Denver, that have shocked the nation. The Democratic governor upset some in his party for not taking a stronger position when he said last summer that stricter laws would not haven´t prevented the mass shooting in Aurora. (Snip) "When you look at what happened in Aurora, a great deal of that damage was from the large magazine on the AR-15 (rifle). ...

Comments: Here they go again. Hick complains that he´s "too moderate". I say he´s a failed governor, period. And he repeats the myth (lie) about the AR in the theater shooting. The rifle jammed. THAT would have been a prime opportunity for a CCW permit holder to end the threat. But no...

There is no longer any need. All the potential psychotic killers in Colorado are now stoned out of their minds and no longer pose a threat.

Actually, all of the damage was done by an evil coward who decided to end the lives of innocent people who thought they were safe in a building that didn´t allow self defense weapons. Fooled them, didn´t he!!!

This from a man who hired an illegal in his brew pub. The illegal shot and killed a police officer who was hired for security at a Christening in Denver.
The killer escaped to Mexico and was only returned to the USA with the promise of no death penalty and no life in prison.
Hickenlooper is a typical lib liar.

How about banning all violence in movies and on television? If we are going to attack the Bill of Rights, let´s get to the heart of the violence problem! As for older movies that have violence in them, let´s have a big bonfire. There, I´ve solved the problem.

Actually the damage was done by the "nut" who squeezed the trigger, if he had a less then 10 round magazine, maybe the weapon would not have jammed, with him quickly reloading and doing more damage then he actually did. What government at all levels should be looking for is how to keep "nuts" from beating the government background check process and purchasing guns in the first place.

In inverse order, two points:
1. OK, Gov. Loopy, there are some 24,000 gun laws in the US, but guns are still used illegally in crimes of all descriptions. So, what are the magic words of your new gun law that will stop the criminally violent? Hey, did I just notice a problem the guv missed?
2. Shall not be infringed -- every one of those words has a clear, simple meaning that hasn´t changed in hundreds of years. And neither has the 2nd Amendment, and what it recognizes to be above even the Constitution itself, that is, the inalienable right to effective self-defense.
#12: Or make assault, battery, and murder illegal. Seems more on-point than going roundabout via gun laws.

If you´re going to talk about gun control, Governor, you should at least try to learn a little something about guns. You could start by learning what an "assaiult weapon" really is, not what Dem-lefty know-nothings apply the term to. You might also learn the difference between the rifle (which isn´t designed to penetrate ANYTHING) and the cartridge. But I´m not gonna hold my breath waiting for you to do that.

A friend of mine teaches high school a few miles from columbine. He wishes he could keep a gun locked in his desk. Of course that would never fly. However, he has taken note of everything in his room that could be used as a weapon and has added a few incospicious ones of his own.

Maybe Jamie Foxx, Spike Lee, Al Sharpton, The new Black Panthers and like minded folks can get a government job deciding who goes to the Showers first. I wish I was kidding.

By ChickenPooper´s logic, we should ban or limit the destructive capacity of automobiles.
By ChickenPooper´s logic, we should outlaw booze which would eliminate drunk driving.
By ChickenPooper´s logic, we should eliminate democrats and save the country.

William Strickland waited for his grandfather to step out of his South Side home to take his paratransit ride to a kidney dialysis appointment early March 2, authorities said Saturday — then stood behind the 72-year-old man, shot him six times in the back and stole his wallet, leaving him to die just steps from his home. Prosecutors said Saturday that Strickland, 19, used the money he took from his grandfather, who also was named William Strickland, to pay for new gym shoes, a cellphone and tattoos. The teen had no criminal history but was an admitted gang member, they said.

The Second Amendment´s guarantee of a right to bear arms does not extend to the right to carry a concealed weapon in public, a federal appeals court in Denver has ruled. "We conclude that the carrying of concealed firearms is not protected by the Second Amendment . . ." Justice Carlos Lucero wrote on behalf of a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Lucero cited case law dating to the 1800s that put restrictions on walking around in public with a gun.

After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"
