Sorry if this a dupe

I've heard the turn out is great in the early voting .....

Awesome! Wish them every success in sending the arrogant slobs packing (no pun intended).

It is time to take back our country and send those elitist snobs out into the world for a real job.

What happens to the new laws if these two get recalled?

to the folks standing up for the 2A. I hope they pull it off. I wonder if Magpul is helping out?

I am pretty sure the law still stands. If it works, the the lawsuit to overturn those laws, might have a better chance of winning.

"The legislation they supported limits most ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and an expansion of background checks to include online and private firearm sales. Most Colorado sheriffs are also suing to overturn the laws, which took effect July 1.
Proponents of the recall and those who support the sheriffs' lawsuit said the new laws violate the Second Amendment."

What happens if the folks are indeed recalled is that then there'll be more "friendly" faces in the legislature who can draft & offer either new countermanding legislation or resolutions to rescind it.

The laws on the books will stand until such a time as they don't.

This could be TEOTWAWKI...but not with the bad connotation

Even from the posted link, and from other articles indicating strong voter turn out, it's hard to get a read on whether this is breaking our way, or not. Sure hope so; but even our little twit from Zionsville is involved in "getting out the vote", and I suspect her side doesn't much care if those voters are alive, dead, legal, illegal.

They covered it pretty good on the news here in Denver this morning. From the report there was no way to tell which way the majority of the population was leaning in the election.

I predict this is going to be a landslide victory with MAJOR ramifications in state gov't's all across the country. Listen to your people OR ELSE.... too bad we were not able to do this on a national scale after the ACA was ramrodded home.

Well most news is left leaning, so if they are saying there is no way to tell which way, then its probably bad news for the unamericans in CO.

I really have my fingers crossed, and not because of anything to do w/ the 2nd Amendment, but everything to do w/ a voice telling elected officials that they MUST listen.

I wish there was a recall provision in the Indiana Constitution...

Who would we need to talk to, to see about getting one added? Doubtful they would add it, but If they got nothing to hide, or fear, then it should be a no brainer

If Colorado pulls this off, now would be the time for us to get this done, when we have friendlies in office.

What difference does it make if Colorado pulls it off? As far as I am concerned they have already pulled it off. If those guys get reelected and keep their spots then its clear that they were indeed speaking for the majority. They succeeded at forcing this election to happen. Who do we need to contact?

I hope it goes the right way... but am not holding my breath. I'm sure they bussing in people to vote their way right now.
