Colorado Republicans Planning Rand Paul-Esque Filibuster Over Tough Gun Control Legislation

Colorado Republicans Planning Rand Paul Esque Filibuster Over Gun Control Legislation

Josh Westerlund, of Colorado Springs, Colo., holds a flag during a pro-gun rally in a park across from the State Capitol in Denver on Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013. About 100 protesters, many of them attracted by flyers they picked up at gun shows, waved signs calling on lawmakers to reject gun-control measures in response to mass shootings in Colorado and elsewhere last year. Inside, lawmakers were already talking about guns. Credit: AP

Colorado lawmakers are currently considering some of the toughest gun control legislation in the country, including a “assault weapons liability” law (making “assault weapons” manufacturers and retailers responsible for crimes), a high-capacity magazine ban, mandatory background check fees, gun restrictions for domestic violence offenders, ban on concealed carry on college campuses, and universal background checks.

The Colorado Senate is set to debate seven gun control proposals on Friday, but don’t expect a speedy resolution. KDVR-TV reports that state Senate Republicans are planning a Rand Paul-esque filibuster to protest the legislation. The bold move could push the floor debate on the seven gun control bills into Saturday and even Sunday.

KDVR-TV has more details:

It’s a high-stakes battle for many individual lawmakers, facing intense pressure from constituents in divided districts, and for advocates on both sides of this national debate over guns.

What happens in Colorado, a western, politically moderate state that’s been affected by two major mass shootings at Columbine in 1999 and in Aurora last July, has the potential to re-shape the national narrative about whether the country is ready for tighter gun control laws in the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn. shooting.

Ultimately, whenever the final Senate votes are taken, it’s likely that anywhere between four and seven measures are approved.

There are 20 Democrats in the 35-member state Senate. With 18 votes needed to pass any bill, no votes from just three Democratic senators would kill any of these bills.

Right now, two Democrats are planning to vote against three of them.

Senate President John Morse, who is sponsoring the “assault weapons liability” bill, said Thursday that he expects the Senate to pass a “comprehensive package” on gun control but didn’t guarantee all seven bills would pass.

Only time will tell if Colorado GOP senators’ filibuster will be as effective as Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) epic nearly 13 hour filibuster on drone strikes and civil liberties.

      I m tired of hearing 2014. How many people actually got out to vote? The takers got out often and early and voted as many times as they could. The doers stayed in the bubble and barely voted.

      The Giant is awake and stirring. This was our main problem. We all get caught up in our little bubble and let the liberal leftist walk all over us. We as a whole are to blame for the current situation we face in this Once Great Nation.

      As soon as we take the blame as a Whole then things will start getting better. Then the Giant will truly start to move thru this Once Great Nation.

      Start a re-call to remove from office Anti-Americans who willfully Infringe on the Rights of Americans. Why wait till 2014.

      Do something Colorado to stop this crazy bunch. Colorado depends on hunters from all over to go to Colorado to buy expensive licenses to hunt to help maintain the herds and the land. The other industries look forward to all these hunters to buy food, motels, camping type gear, etc.

      So far with what Colorado has done, it’s become a laughing stock to all the radio & TV programs, along with Washington State. Then skiers will stop going to Colo. and go elsewhere.

    We need to defend the intellectual property rights of the 2nd amendment. We will not allow the distortion of the english language to subvert the civil rights guaranteed in the US Constitution with our silence, but rather articulate that these rights should be defended and held for future generations.

    What am I talking about? This is a common theme, tear apart intellectual or private property rights? Llets take the “unlock the phone issue”. You do not own the phone, you own something that looks like a phone, but depends on license fees getting paid to developers to make it work? I own a computer, do I have the right to sue any computer software maker for denying me the “right” to make my computer work? Why can’t I play the game Fast and Delirious, or whatever?

    I own a DVD player, do I have the right to sue Hollywood, you can’t deny me the right to watch a movie you just released? So how do we get away with these silly arguments in the press that gun free zones prevent crime?

They were not given to me by the politicians who were elected to serve me and no matter what they do I will never serve them.

      They moved here from the left coast! Whats funny is they all are in the cities. If you live in CO call Hick and say you sing any ban no vote from in for your reelection. Gov. John Hickenlooper said in an interview Monday that he isn’t worried that signing a slew of Democratic gun-control bills will hurt his reelection chances, despite overwhelming opposition from gun-rights advocates at Monday’s hearings.

      Hickenlooper, a moderate Democrat who had previously only come out and supported one of the Democratic proposals — background checks for private sales and transfers — on Thursday indicated for the first time he was supportive of a limit on high-capacity gun magazines. The bill to do that is bitterly opposed by gun rights activists, and a Colorado company that makes the high-capacity magazines says it will be forced to relocate if the legislation passes.

      Redistricting done by the Democrats. Republicans are a majority in Colorado, but the Democrats redistricted in their favor. Also, Bloomberg and a bunch of lefty billionaires have been funneling money into Co. to support anti gun legislation, and, more importantly, gay marriage and gay education.

      Why don’t we have answers on the cause of the Waldo Canyon fire when every other fire was nailed down to the exact location and individual and reason that caused it prior to the fire’s extinguishment? Why were Barack, Janet and Ken in Colorado for this fire and not any of the others (don’t believe it was for re-election ops)? Why were we lied to regarding suspicious devices found among the community and told it was most likely the prank of teenagers when these devices looked an awful lot like devices states had been warned about regarding terrorist attacks from DHS? Is it because Janet dropped the ball and the community got burned, literally? Of all the fires Colorado has seen of recent, this is the one that has actual footage of the fire in its infancy so location of origin is known, therefore, cause should be known as well.

      Love Colorado, hate what I see the state’s government turn into, little D.C. full of corruption and lies!

Now you know.. and the only ones I feel sorry for are those who voted differently than those who voted these idiots in! I grew up in Colorado.. and Colorado has more gun owners than naught. So to those lawmakers in Colorado.. if you want a war,, go ahead and pass your socialistic crap and Coloradoan’s will fight to the bitter end before you ever take there guns! Colorado is the hunting capital of the whole USA as far as I am concerned… my hope is that those who have hunted in Colorado for decades will come and fight with you! But those of you who voted for those clods, I don’t feel sorry for you, gun owner or not.. Democrats stink!

      Sadly it wasn’t real Coloradan’s who voted the dem’s into office, it was all of the left coast progressives who invaded the state over the last 15 years who did it. I was raised in Colorado and lived there most of my life before finally moving out. I left Colorado 10 years ago because of the infestation of Californians and their liberal disease that they brought to the state. I feel sorry for the true Coloradan’s who still live there. They have been over-run by Californians and have come close to losing their state.

      It is time for the true Coloradan’s to stand up, refuse to comply with these idiotic laws (if passed) and band together to have the governor removed from office, by force if necessary.

    If the anti constitution progs in Colorado pass any so called ‘gun law’ it’s going to violate the 2nd amendment. I don’t need to read the bill before you pass it I already know it’ll be unconstitutional because shall not be infringed is pretty simple to comprehend. All Americans should demand that ALL gun laws be abolished for the simple fact that they violate the second amendment and are a threat to our liberty and freedom from government.

    The only hope my state has, is there are recall efforts underway for 6 of the Dem senators, at least 3 Dem Congressmen, and a preliminary effort for the Governor. The Denver Post poll shows 70% of residents are against all of these measures, several Congress members have received overwhelming negative responses for voting for these bills, but openly say they will ignore them, and the Pueblo senator has admitted up to 2 days ago, had never handled or fired a weapon in her life, but would still vote for these bills, even though she knows her constituents are against it.

    The Dems are cutting their own throats in this state, we have people in districts that have been asleep, starting to wake up. I am confident the conservatives will take back the Senate and House, and hopefully the Governorship. Udall is up next.

Voids the contract…. the consideration for equal value??? null and void as the representative brought nothing of value to the table of fair dealing IN GOOD FAITH.

      A well-regulated (provisioned or armed) militia (not a standing army), being necessary to the security of a free state, [here's the kicker] the right of the people (you and I) to keep (own) and bear (keep on your person, transport) arms (it doesn’t say hunting rifles or shotguns only) shall not be infringed (not to be modified). Looks pretty clear to me that not only can I have arms, but that every citizen should have arms. Also, none of my weapons have ever gotten off the shelf and shot any children.

      ENCINOM, Yeah, yeah, and the founding fathers who wrote the Bill of Rights set about violating the 2nd Amendment right away by allowing gun ownership to occur through out the country. Yep, your definition really fits reality doesn’t it?

      Encinom is a child who loves the attention he/she gets by interrupting adults in the middle of serious conversation. He/she is what is referred to as a “Problem Child”.

      The 2nd Amendment has it’s heritage in the English Muster Law of 1572 which required ALL able bodied men to be organized into training bands of militia and armed with common weapons provided by the government. In 1645, the English Muster Law was changed to ordered each town militia to have 30% of its men ready on 1/2 hour warning for any service requirement. Since the American colonies were governed under English law, the Muster Law applied to the colonies.

      The 30% requirement created the famous American “Minute Men”.

      The 2nd Amendment is a echo of the English Common Law. The 2nd Amendment is not only a fundamental right of Americans but also a duty.

      I know you will never agree or accept that the historical principles remain in force in the modern age. I also know that you will do your best to deny those of us who believe in the right and duty to freely keep and bare arms.

      WELL REGULATED, so unless you are be trained and regulated as a part of a militia, you have no right. Its sad that gun nuts place a made up right ahead of the lives of citizens. They allow their simple minds to be filled with paranoia and the death merchant’s talking points as the tiny caskets pile up.

    Number one question to Colorado lawmakers, does “Man” has a right to exist?

    It’s either a Yes or No!

      Sean Hanity said it will come like this and low and behold it has…..Just when women were warming up to Liberals like Katie on Daytime…..Now the Dimocrats throw a wrench into the works.

      Lets just pray the liberals smoke out and oversleep on election day.

    Having lived in Colorado for nearly 10 years, it is hard to believe that they would even remotely consider such un-Constitutional measures. I highly doubt that anyone living on the western slope will bother to comply and most certainly any bills that pass will be immediately challenged as to their constitutionality. Don’t think too many sheriffs will want to have to go door to door to enforce compliance with such insidious legislation. It has to be the pansies living in the “people’s republic of Boulder’ that are behind all this.

      Actually Boulder, Westminister, Evergreen, Littleton, Pueblo, and one from Colorado Springs, the west side of town (Hippieville), are the ones who seem to really be banging this drum. The Boulder ones don’t have to be loud, they are letting these other ones make all the noise, and they know, they will be the ones put on the chopping block, Boulder is safe Dems. What I find funny, is the Dem House member from Yoder is voting for this mess, and Yoder is already starting recall actions against him. He should know not to mess with country folks guns, but no one accused him of being smart.

      It won’t be the sheriff’s officers having to go door to door to collect all the little old ladies one gun arsenals. It will be the DHS with their MRAPs and 1.6 billion rounds of mostly hollow point ammo. You don’t think that something as important as gun confiscation will be left up to the local LEOs do ya? At least the Coloradoans (sic) won’t know who it is they are having to shoot at
