Lucky12345678 says:: Chicago has some the strongest gun laws in the country. Guess what they have the highest gun related deaths per capita, something like 289 and counting year to date... Why do you wonder why people are not really supporting gun control measures?; reply

weapons4sale says:: The NRA driven, Anti Gun Control arguments are perpetuated by bumper stickers, internet placards, glib one liners and general analogies (which arent valid analogies) designed to appeal to the less educated, who often vote against their own self interests.; reply

HenryBowmanAZ says:: $20 says that the "majority of likely voters" in either of those states (or in fact any other) couldn't pass a 20-question quiz on what their state and federal gun laws currently ARE.

These surveys prove nothing factual about current gun laws or the need for additional gun laws -- they only serve to prove how voters' "nebulous feelings" may affect their votes.

What amazes me is that the survey still came down on the right side. As always, the guy who broke the existing gun laws (armed trespass) had the advantage over the law-abiding citizens who disarmed themselves to obey those laws.

Laws don't stop armed assaults. Armed defense stops armed assaults.; reply

samXXkiley says:: coucou,
In addition to revision the gun laws, education of voters in State of Colorado is also required in order to develop their moral faculties, after this, maybe they will know how to make a difference between what is right and what is bad for society
"au revoir"; reply

There were 2,447 deliberate and 1,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in Colorado alone during 1883.


RaconteurDuck replies:: linkicon reporticon emailicon; Stupid5 source your data or it's BS. Why 1883? Is it the worst you could find? Again, if you can't give the source, I call BS.

MIchael-Rosellini says:: I live in Denver Co and we have more gun laws than you can shake a stick at just as the do in Aurora where the Theatre shootings occured. Both cities being run by Liberal Democrats we refer to Denver as the "Peoples Republic of Denver". You cannot own so-called assualt guns or rifles or any high capacity magazines or 50BMG rifles.

The criminals have them but the citizens are not allowed to.
We finally were able to Concealed Carry Permits in 2004 when only a few special people and friends of the politicians and police were allowed to have them.
No, we do not want anymore gun laws in Colorado.
At this point they are redundant like the Democrats and left wingers.; reply

formerlyluvnut says:: LESS stricter gun laws would have meant, most probably, that more people in the theater would have been armed & could have possibly stopped the shooter earlier. Duh. It ain't rocket science.; reply

If Colorado citizens don't want stricter gun control laws, that's fine with me for two reasons. I live far from Colorado and relatively safe from their gun-toting killers. The second reason is that by not favoring stricter gun control, the citizens will slowly be killed off one by one. Problem solved.


nottblu replies:: linkicon reporticon emailicon; Chicago and Washington DC have the most RESTRICTIVE gun laws in the nation and the highest murder rates, that is no coincidence.


gjc1n1 replies:: linkicon reporticon emailicon; I live far from Chicago and Washington DC too. The only way to solve this problem is to repeal the second amendment. It has lost its usefulness. If EVERY state had very restrictive gun laws you wouldn't see the mass transferring of weapons between states.

The local police department doesn't prevent ALL crimes. Therefore, we DON'T need the local police departments.

Homeland Security Department will not prevent ALL terrorist attacks. Therefore, we DON'T need Homeland Security Department.

Car seat belts don't prevent ALL traffic fatality. Therefore, we DON'T need car seat belts.

Helmets don't prevent ALL football head injuries. Therefore, we DON'T need helmets to play football.


formerlyluvnut replies:: linkicon reporticon emailicon; Police Dept's are only in place to enforce the laws. NOWHERE in their job description is it written that they are responsible for crime PREVENTION.
