In nearly 140 years of Colorado history, it’s never happened before. This year it is happening twice: Two legislators, both Democratic members of the Colorado State Senate, will face recall elections after the Democrat-controlled legislature, bullied by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden, and supported by Governor John “I’m a Moderate” Hickenlooper, passed heavy-handed and unpopular restrictions on gun rights in the Centennial State. For Senators Morse and Giron — particularly the former — it seems unlikely they will return to the State Senate in its next session. The restrictions in question require background checks for every gun sale, including between individual citizens (along with the imposition of a state fee for each background check), and ban the purchase or transfer of magazines that hold more than 15 cartridges. Morse also sponsored a bill that would have attached liability for a crime committed with any rifle to the gun’s manufacturer and seller, in addition to the person charged with the actual crime. It would also have attached liability to the rifle owner if his gun were stolen and used by a third party in commission of a crime, if the government claimed that the rifle was “negligently stored.” spectator.org/archives/2013/08/02/colorado-recalls-make-history/
