Colorado Recall Election Worked

Well there you have it. Here is the outcome and the follow up my blog I posted on July 25th. On September 10th 2013, history was made in Colorado when gun right advocates of Colorado Springs and Pueblo voted out of office senator John Morse and state senator Angels Giron. Governor Hickenlooper who has consistency said one thing and done just the opposite was “stunned” by the results. Well my friends, its time the career politicians who have forgotten that they should be serving us, the citizens of America and not the lobbyists and the top one percent of America should be taking note.

Thomas Jefferson had it right when he stated “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms”, “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have” and my favorite “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

I am all for background checks but the 30 round magazine issue is just plain dumb. I have been selling firearm accessories for almost 9 years and have owned firearms for over 35 years. For all of us who own “assault rifles” (who came up with that ridiculous name?) magazines can be swapped out in about one second. Reducing the amount of rounds is not the issue. The issue is cutting mental care funds because they need another billion dollar bomber or continue to give corporation’s huge tax credits who have sent millions of our jobs outside of America.

In this case, when politicians having no clue about firearms make decisions that affect thousands of Colorado gun owners who do know what they are talking about, maybe, just maybe, other politicians will take notice and listen for once in their life.

I am thrilled that Colorado banded together and succeeded at holding those who make sweeping decisions accountable for their actions.  State Senator Greg Brophy commented that  70% of Democratic voters they questioned opposed one or a  combination of the proposals (either the comprehensive package, the background checks, the liability claim, or the high-capacity magazine ban).”  “These poll numbers prove that Governor Hickenlooper and the Democrats are listening to Bloomberg and Biden instead of Coloradans”.  (source Daniel Halper, the weekly standard)

I wish I would have kept the email from the person who told me he would not order anything from me because I live in a “gun control state” and “actions have consequences”. I wonder if he knows or cares what has just happened for the first time in the history of Colorado.  Blaming me for the actions of politicians who I don’t agree with was really something I could control is crazy.  If I lived in either of those two counties I would have been first in like to cast my recall vote.

The historic event proves politicians can be recalled and held accountable for going against the wishes of their citizens. I just wonder how hard it would be to recall about 200 more of them and get the greatest nation on this planet back on track.
