Ol Hickey

I looked up wikihow's 11 easy steps to remove a hickey, but the bastard only persists. Attempts to hide it have failed as it spoke with NPR today:

"Hickenlooper also talked about the attack on Planned Parenthood two weeks ago and potential gun control measures; what he can do to prevent acts of ISIS inspired terrorism..."

The gist is that he thinks an AWB would be difficult to pass or enforce, but says that if more mass shootings occur it could be on the table. He did mention mental health as a possible approach to the gun owner control problem, as well as keeping folks on the No-Fly list from obtaining firearms. He mentioned domestic violence convicts again, as well as restraining orders (makes ya wanna send him a highlighted copy of federal law, don't it?). Children. He mentioned children. And firearm storage. Oh, and he did make a deal about Colorado Springs being well populated with concealed carry permit holders and that not stopping the Planned Parenthood attack. He wasn't saying that a high gun toting population caused the attack, he just used that bit of asininity to slam the idea that more folks carrying weapons would deter mass shootings.

(Now just twixt you, me and the entire free world, I think it's safe to say that no matter what the demographic is of the block surrounding block the number of concealed carry permit holders, or even just gun owners that carry sans permit, would only approach zero from the negative side of the scale inside Planned Parenthood. It's like a democrat campaign rally - it may not say it's a "gun free zone", but no one in Vegas would lay money down otherwise.)

What I gathered from our states most annoying hickey is that the dems here will try to push through some sort of mental health bill relating to firearms. There's even a chance they will try to ban anyone in state from possessing weapons if they're on the No Fly list. I think some sort of push for a safe storage law (For The Children, of course) may happen.

If you're thinking there's no chance any of that will pass, I wish I could share your optimism, but I know the local GoP. I can see some "law and order" type of stupidity being used to justify a reach around across the aisle, and ol' hickey has mentioned that he's been talking with some people that were opposed but now open to more gun owner control laws. Hopefully it's no one with any power or influence within the local GoP (such as the one defector we know of), but they ain't called "the stupid party" for nuffin'.

I also think there may be an attempt to up the magazine capacity limit to 30 rounds. This is a mistake as there are better ways to attack the entire law (through the courts as well as through the legislature), not just put out our hats as we beg "Please sir, may I have some more". 

Colorado has a hickey that just won't go away. A very embarrassing hickey (which usually you can't see because it's covered up by that nasty little fascist from NYC's Bloombergs boot on our throat...). I wonder how many gallons of witch hazel it'd take to... oh, nevermind. I fear we'll just have to wait this one out. Anyone got a state-sized turtleneck we can borrow?
