Colorado Democrat: State Legislature Will Keep People Safe, Not Guns

This attitude that oneself is not responsible for their own safety is one of the major problems in this country. Police are not there to prevent crime, only respond to them when they are called upon. This logic that some people have in their heads like this woman just amazes me. If you don't like guns that is fine, you do not have to carry one, but nobody should be barred from protecting their own life or the lives of innocents. I am a firm believer that more firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens equates to less overall crime and it is being proven in Illinois since the concealed carry law was enacted.

The simple truth is; We live in a world with guns and until our society as a whole evolves past the self destructive nature that we currently posses, guns will always be there. Anyone else put two and two together regarding the new gun control laws in Colorado and the many conspiracies surrounding the Denver airport. Seems to me TPTB don't want patriotic gun owners anywhere near their apocalyptic retreat.

Another Colorado Democrat has stoked the state’s raging gun-control debate by challenging the argument that guns are needed for self-defense.

Colorado House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst said in an interview on YouTube last week that firearms ownership is redundant because the state Legislature keeps citizens safe from harm.

“As a woman, I have the right not to carry a gun and to feel safe on the streets, and that’s what we provide for in the state Legislature is for all of us in the state of Colorado — to feel safe on the streets without having to carry a gun,” said Mrs. Hullinghorst on “The Tim Caffrey Show.”

She also took a swipe at gun owners.

“The thought that the only way we can protect ourselves is to wield our own weapon is completely absurd and an argument that I absolutely discount as frivolous,” Mrs. Hullinghorst said.

Her comments came as Democrats face a strong backlash against the Colorado Legislature’s sweeping gun-control legislation passed earlier this year. Early voting already has begun in the Sept. 10 recall elections of Democratic state Sens. Angela Giron and John Morse over their votes in March in favor of the bills.

State Sen. Greg Brophy, a candidate for the 2014 GOP gubernatorial nomination, said Mrs. Hullinghorst’s stance “speaks volumes about the Democratic agenda on guns.”

“Unbelievably naive from a citizen. Absolutely dangerous from an elected official and leader of the Democratic Party in Colorado,” Mr. Brophy told Colorado Peak Politics.

This wasn’t the first time state Democrats have tangled with gun owners over the self-defense issue. Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak touched off an outcry in March when she told a rape victim that it was unrealistic to expect that she would have been able to fend off her attacker with a gun, saying, “Statistics are not on your side.”

“Chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you,” Mrs. Hudak said at a committee hearing.

The Democratic-controlled Legislature passed three gun bills in March without any Republican votes. Signed into law by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, the bills restrict ammunition magazine capacity to 15 rounds; mandate background checks for all gun sales, including temporary transfers; and require gun owners to pay for their background checks.

I absolutely agree again with you sir. We are definitely on the same page. They keep making Gun control laws, " like the criminals are going to obey these laws" All they do is put Law abiding citizens at more of a disadvantage and danger. I have heard of this Apocalyptic retreat you speak of, is it going to be a gathering point for people of like minds such as us? Maybe you could point me in the right direction of a video about this, just wondering what its all about and interested in looking into it, thx in advance, sir.. God Bless and try to have a Great day....
