Triangle Tactical Podcast and Blog on Guns, Gear, and Competition Shooting
“Colorado is a state that people like to be themselves and solve their own problems,”
“They don’t really like outside organizations meddling in their affairs, and maybe the NRA gets a pass on that.”
“But (it is) probably not a bad idea” for gun-control groups, such as the one established by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to curb their efforts if gun-rights activists collect enough signatures to force a recall vote on state Sen. Evie Hudak.
What’s most important about this recall, is that it would shift the power in the CO Senate from the anti-gun Democrats to the Republican party. After the first two successful recalls, the Colorado Senate is currently sitting at 18-17 with the Dems in the majority.
Changing this majority would probably keep any more anti-gun laws from being passed in Colorado in the short term, and it would be a huge step in the direction of repealing the laws that have already been passed.
Back to Hickenlooper, I’m not sure what exactly his motivation is for saying this. It could be self preservation, if he thinks that it’s inevitable that the Hudak will be recalled, and the laws that he signed will be overturned, he may be doing his best not to ruffle feathers to try to hold onto his job after the 2014 elections. Fortunately, I don’t think he has a chance in hell of keeping his job.
