Colorado gun bills: They happen tomorrow

The Colorado State Senate will convene at 9:00AM to begin a full floor debate on ALL of billionaire-playboy Mayor Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun bills. 

This second reading debate will likely take all day and into the evening, with a series of voice or standing votes. A final, formal (recorded) third reading vote will be taken on Monday for any bills that pass second reading.
They will be hearing:
  • SB-195: Prohibits Colorado citizens from taking online CCW training courses.
  • SB-196: Senator Morse’s De Facto "Assault Weapons" ban, which would includes common semi-automatic hunting shotguns.
  • HB-1224: Bans all magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
  • HB-1226: Bans armed self-defense on college campuses; expanding criminal safe-zones to all state college and university campuses.
  • HB-1228: Imposes a Jim Crow-style gun tax on all firearm purchases. This legislation has no limit on the amount the CBI could charge for a background check.
  • HB-1229: Bans the private sale of firearms and expands background checks/gun registration for all Colorado gun owners.
Despite the crowing from the liberal media, there is a chance gun owners’ pressure could kill some of the worst pieces of this legislation. 

You see, despite the money and pressure that Mayor Bloomberg is using to push his New York-style gun grab here in Colorado, some in the Senate are feeling the heat.

That’s why I need you to contact these Senators, one more time. You and I might be able to kill some of Bloomberg’s agenda.
Politely and respectfully ask them not to support Bloomberg’s anti-gun agenda.
Not sure what to tell them?

Here's what I recommend:

Dear Senator NAME,
  Coloradan's DO NOT support more gun control:
  • NO Magazine Bans
  • NO ban on private firearms sales
  • NO Gun Tax on gun purchases
  • NO universal background checks/gun registration
  • NO "Mental Health" database to deny gun rights
  • NO Backdoor "Assault Weapon" bans.
Please vote with Colorado gun owners, not anti-gun lobbyists from New York

Signed: (Your Name)

Once you've contacted these Senators, please forward this e-mail to ALL of your gun-owning friends and urge them to call and e-mail these Senators as well. 

Want to do more? Show up at the Capitol tomorrow and fill the Senate gallery. If you can’t make it to the Capitol, you can watch the debate on Comcast channel 165 or click here to live stream the Senate debate.

Your activism -- TODAY -- could make the difference. Please don't put off for tomorrow what we must do today.

Call, e-mail, Tweet and Facebook these Senators TODAY.

For liberty,

 Dudley Brown
Executive Director

    I've done my part. But it seems that they are ignoring those of us that have stood outside. And those of us, that can't get inside.
    They are going to do WHAT THEY WANT, and to hell with everybody else that are against these stupid bills.

      Horace said that some of the Democrats are getting cold feet. Lets hope so.

    I was going by the Denver Post article yesterday which innocently (yeah) listed the wavering Democrats and thereby made them the targets for the day. I'd bet they were all swamped with calls.
