Colorado attempts to recall Senators over gun control laws

[24Carat]

Boy am I gonna sleep good tonight ! Hale-friggin-luya !!

 

[Lammchop93]

So when does this become effective and he is no longer a senator?

 

[buford t justice]

This is like Christmas come early

 

[pudly]

Congrats Buford. Can you fill us in on some details? When does the transition happen?

 

[jrogers]

With a little luck, every anti-2nd amendment politician regardless of party affiliation, will be paying attention to these results.

It goes beyond the 2nd Amendment. In a perfect world legislators would consider this notice that they can no longer vote against their constituents' will and expect it to go unremarked.

In practice they'll keep up the same old nonsense, just take more care when it comes to wedge issues. Still, every little bit helps.

Bacon. Bacon. Bacon. I'm so happy!

What a great day! Not only CO vote, but tomorrow UPS is delivering some ammo I finally scored from Midway. Been on notification most of the year and finally was on computer when the email arrived!

 

[buford t justice]

Thanks Pudly

I have looked at several local news sites but can't find an answer for you, maybe tomorrow when they come out of shock they will tell us when herpin and rivera take office.

100% reporting- 56% yes to recall Giron.

Both have been recalled!

 

[AngryRooster]

Denver Post now says 100% vote reported for Giron. 56% to 43.9%

...

Yep. Now what do we need to do to have this option in Indiana?

 

[cbhausen]

Oh, lovely day! This makes me happier than the camel in the GEICO commercial.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Ronny, how happy are people who save hundreds of dollars switching to Geico?
I'd say happier than pro-gun Coloradans after recalling two of the worst anti-gun state politicoes.

Boom.

Better get to work on that constitutional amendment!

 

[bwframe]

Better get to work on that constitutional amendment!

I got people for that. I vote for them every other November or so.

What WE need to make sure of is that it is an election issue.

Can't wait to see Bloomberg's response. I wonder if he'll ask for his $350,000 back?

No. But I'm sure he will come up something like lamenting on how the NRA outspent them and it's their fault... Etc, etc, etc.

 

[87iroc]

WOOT! I hope this is a sign for next November!

On the spending. NRA didn't spend as much as I would have thought. Donations to the antigun candidates was in the multiple millions. NRA and Bloomberg combined only donated a few hundred thousand

According to reports last night, the effort to stave off the recall election out-spent the recall efforts by a 12:1 margin.
