| GREELEY, Colo - A Colorado sheriff says he won´t enforce two aggressive gun-control measures waiting to be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Weld County Sheriff John Cooke told The Greeley Tribune ( http://bit.ly/141Ee2z ) that Democratic lawmakers are scrambling after recent mass shootings, and the bills are "feel-good, knee-jerk reactions that are unenforceable." One bill expands background checks on firearm purchases, and the other limits ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. The 15-round magazine limit would make Colorado the first state outside the East Coast to ratchet back gun rights after last year´s shootings

For those of you that don´t know, Weld County is a big and populated county in Colorado. This is news, maybe not to the big states but to us fly overs it is good news.

Look for the libtards to remove him from office and make life miserable for this man and his family. It´s the Chicago Way. Well at least California. They inhabit just some cities but control the whole state. Same problem in WA and soon Texas. Thank you Sheriff Cooke for standing up for your constituents and the Second Amendment.

It´s really disheartening to see a conservative state like Col.be co opted by the left.None of these stupid state laws can withstand the "shall not infringe" test.
We´ll have to see if the left devises a way to punish pro 2nd amendment sheriffs..The states might not but bigfoot Holder could stick his nose in somehow.
The left would be very happy to blame guns for the Aurora shooting,rather than self examine themselves on how this obvious nut job shooter fell through the cracks.The boy´s shrink could shed a lot of light on a system that is broke by the liberal´s hands.

I have lived in Colorado since 1985. I make my living in the firearms industry and am preparing to move to Texas. I will also move as much of my business(es) as I can. We changed plans to expand in the Colorado market because of what this state has become-California style governance.

CHICAGO — She’s come home. After a temporary tour as a lieutenant in President Obama’s army, Hillary Rodham Clinton rejoined the Clinton family business on Thursday and went right to work on one of its main objectives: advancing the Clinton brand. Mrs. Clinton appeared alongside her husband, Bill Clinton, in a crowded ballroom here and left little doubt that she planned to reclaim the political stage she exited more than four years ago to become the nation’s top diplomat. At the annual gathering of the foundation established by her husband, Mrs. Clinton delivered a speech

A line of storms continued its march to the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, bringing high winds and threats of flooding to the East Coast after causing power outages through the Midwest. The storm system, originally billed as a meteorological event known as a derecho, was less widespread than originally forecast. A derecho is a line of storms carrying high, straight-on winds that stretches for at least 240 miles. Even though the storm system failed to form to that degree, it did contain winds of up to 70 mph as it crossed the nation heading for Washington, D.C. and the Mid-Atlantic region.

SANFORD -- With Trayvon Martin’s parents watching uncomfortably from the courtroom gallery, a potential juror on Thursday suggested the slain teen was a pot smoker and aspiring “street fighter” who was “going down the wrong path.” The woman interviewed on Thursday, on the fourth day of jury selection in the second-degree murder case, said she believed George Zimmerman was a law-abiding gun owner. “I do believe George was protecting himself,” she said, adding that prosecutors would “have to work very hard” to convince her otherwise if she is selected for the jury.

The bedroom where Michael Jackson died in 2009 was a mess — littered with bedcovers, oxygen tanks, prescription pill bottles and other medical supplies, photos newly released by the Los Angeles Police Department show. The King of Pop died on June 25, 2009, at age 50 — with lethal levels of drugs in his system. Jacko’s doctor, Conrad Murray, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving the troubled superstar a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid. Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, is suing concert promotion company AEG Live

Democrats, Biden went for the jugular. In a reference to Al Gore, who introduced Biden at the Washington, D.C., event, Biden said, "This man was elected president of the United States of America," according to the pool report.

New York - Campaigners have welcomed as a "huge breakthrough" the Obama administration´s decision to give up its fight to limit the sale of a morning-after pill. Plan B will soon become available to women and girls of all ages without a prescription, following a decade-long battle that pitted successive White House administrations and the Food and Drug Administration against reproductive-rights campaigners, physicians and women´s groups seeking to make emergency contraception universally available. Such groups have long argued that since morning-after pills such as Plan B One Step are time-sensitive and safe, they should be made as readily available

SANFORD, Florida - The polarizing debate that followed the killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Florida last year means it could take up to two weeks to pick the six jurors needed to try the case. Prosecution and defense lawyers in the trial in Florida´s Seminole County are entitled to subject potential jurors from a pool of hundreds to detailed questioning about their knowledge of the case and whether they have formed opinions about it. The attorneys completed questioning of just four prospective jurors in a preliminary round

Meteorologist are warning that the continuous line of storms may even spawn an unusual weather event called a derecho (duh-RAY´-choh), which is a massive storm of strong straight-line winds spanning at least 240 miles. Wednesday´s storms are also likely to generate tornadoes and cause power outages that will be followed by oppressive heat, said Bill Bunting, operations chief at the National Weather Service´s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.

WASHINGTON — More Americans are quitting their jobs, suggesting many are growing more confident in the job market. The Labor Department said Tuesday that the number of people who quit their jobs in April jumped 7.2 percent to 2.25 million. That´s just below February´s level, which was the highest in 4 ½ years. Overall hiring also picked up in April, though not as dramatically. Employers filled 4.4 million jobs in April, a 5 percent increase from March. Hiring fell in March and April´s level was below February´s. The report offered a reminder that the job market is far from healthy.

WASHINGTON — The State Department has hired an alarming number of law-enforcement agents with criminal or checkered backgrounds because of a flawed hiring process, a stunning memo obtained by The Post reveals. The background problems are severe enough that many of the roughly 2,000 agents in State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security can play only limited roles in agency efforts to police bad conduct and prosecute wrongdoers. The problems in the bureau are the latest revelation in an exploding scandal that also involves accusations that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s security detail

The ACLJ has filed suit against the IRS on behalf of 25 conservative groups, with additional groups being added in the next couple weeks, according to a spokesman.

Washington- Syria has crossed a "red line" with its use of chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin gas, against rebels, a move that is prompting the United States to increase the "scale and scope" of its support for the opposition, the White House said Thursday. The acknowledgment is the first time President Barack Obama´s administration has definitively said what it has long suspected -- that President Bashar al-Assad´s forces have used chemical weapons in the ongoing civil war.

At a Thursday press conference, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with exceptions for when the life or physical health of the mother was at stake. Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer. "As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this," Pelosi said. "This shouldn´t have anything to do with politics."

Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts.
