| DENVER—Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will sign legislation Wednesday that sets limits on ammunition magazines and expands background checks for firearms, marking a Democratic victory in a state where gun ownership is a treasured right and Second Amendment debate has played out in the wake of two mass shootings. The measures proposed are some of the strictest gun laws in the nation,

Comments: Magpul Industries has already released a statement that if Gov Higgendoofus signs the bill, they will begin to relocate operations outside of Colorado. Another website mentioned that if, under this bill, you die, your heirs cannot "inherit" your 15-round clips and suggest that you set up a trust to own your weapons and ammo. But I heard Gov Doofus is gonna get state aid to have a marijuana grower or maybe a gay marriage retreat house/caterer buy the Magpul property so all those high paying jobs will come to Colorado.

The democrats are going to try to pass as many anti-gun laws as possible, regardless of the Constitution, in a shotgun attempt to get something to stick as a precedent.

I´m a native Coloradoan and I hate what these damn liberals have done to my state. And no matter how many emails you send or how many times you protest, they don´t listen...they don´t care what their constituents want. A recent Denver Post poll showed over 70% disapproval of these laws.
They will make an awful lot of instant felons with these gun laws. Everyone I have talked to will not comply and why should they?
These laws go against the Constitution and they are unenforceable.
Bring on the lawsuits!

This is the law the outlaws magazine clips that could be modified. Since almost all could potentially be modified, it effectively outlaws all of them. Dems say that is not their intention - LOL.

I certainly agree with #3. Today 62 of 64 county sheriffs say they will not enforce the laws beause they are unenforceable. Colorado was Calfornicated several years ago. This used to be a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.

Is anyone here from Colorado? I´ve spent a fair amount of time there. Outside of Aspen, the other ski towns, and the elitist snob liberals in Denver (The Denver Post is their party organ) Colorado is a very free market, libertarian place. Why are these laws being passed despite being very unpopular with the majority (that´s what the polls say)?

#10...the question should be, why are the majority of Colorado residents against these gun laws yet stupid enough to elect those passing the laws? The Liberals know that the opposition is gullible, dumb and lazy.
Obviously, to the Liberals, they sat behind their computer whining and crying instead of getting out and into the face of the lawmakers.
So where does the real blame lie? If you want your Constitution then get out there and fight for it. If you provide every excuse you can think of to not do it then shut up and practice being a slave.

Sounds like there are still some in whose blood courses the real ethos of early settlers of Colorado, who appreciated the value of the gun. It´s horribly obvious that interlo[o]pers from the once great golden state have diluted the strong Coloradan stock with their weaselly liberal left coastism.

Good answer #13, though now I feel embarrassed I asked. Why, after all, did our "Dear Leader" get re-crowned despite the fact that he hates America and is trying to destroy it? I think I have the same problem many others throughout America do. I don´t want to believe that people are really so stupid they can´t see what a horrible creature that wannabe emperor is. But the evidence sure seems to suggest otherwise.

The gig is up for democrat hickenlooper who has built his political career as a maverick who is unconstrained by partisan politics. Translation, he´s a liberal who posed as a moderate to further his political ambition. I thought he might veto (with fanfare) the magazine size bill so he could grandstand as a centrist, and ask for a couple of amendments, but no. Apparently Colorado and the country has turned so far left, hickenlooper can afford to drop all pretense that he´s a middle of the road guy.

It´s mean to vote for Republicans. To justify such a vote you might have to understand the implications of laws or economics. That´s hard, some of that math stuff. So they vote for the people who say nice things and get all the good media coverage. Today´s Democrats are following, in Borg-like fashion, the statist-totalitarian playbook. But very few people are aware of all the laws and regulations that are being written. So to them, things just happen. And when it gets bad enough that the media has to report on it, they blame Republicans.

During this year´s Conservative Political Action Conference, the American Conservative Union paraded its star lineup of African Americans who share their political philosophy. They were featured as a “stunning array of speakers from the African American community.” But in reality, they are not known by black America, with the exception of Dr. Benjamin Carson and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The problem that conservatives face when featuring these people is that even though they are black, they are not in tune with African Americans. They do not share the struggles, frustrations and everyday problems of the community they claim to represent.

When Democrats in the Texas House met in late January to elect Rep. Yvonne Davis of Dallas as their leader by the slimmest of margins, she promised to listen to their voices and not to unelected outsiders, specifically, Houston Democratic benefactor Steve Mostyn. Almost immediately, the phone of the successful plaintiff´s lawyer lit up with text messages from lawmakers lamenting the remarks of the woman they had just elected as their leader. After all, Mostyn and his wife, Amber, have infused $25 million into Democratic efforts in the past two election cycles. Surely, some respect was owed.

Shortly after prosecutors announced they closed the John Doe investigation of Gov. Scott Walker´s aides, Democratic Party spokesman Graeme Zielinski took to Twitter to begin ripping the first-term Republican governor.

Watts finds himself under federal investigation over the legitimacy of his client list in a case stemming from the 2010 BP oil spill. Earlier this month, Secret Service agents, who not only protect the president but investigate cases of fraud, counterfeiting and identity theft, served search warrants at Watts´ two law offices on the Northwest Side, the San Antonio Express-News has confirmed with federal officials and Watts´ attorney.

Your medical plan is facing an unexpected expense, so you probably are, too. It’s a new, $63-per-head fee to cushion the cost of covering people with pre-existing conditions under President Obama’s health care overhaul. The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say. Most of that is likely to be passed on to workers. Employee benefits lawyer Chantel Sheaks calls it a “sleeper issue” with significant financial consequences, particularly for large employers

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B.

Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out.
