So the people of CO have taken a few years, lotsa effort, and millions of dollars to fix, partially, something that took about a week and some emotional public appeals to irrationality to break.
And NY isn’t changing anything, nor is NJ, MD, IL, etc..
The Bloomberg/Joyce method of using state legislatures to screw up gun laws is working.

It’s not quite like that. Firstly, this just made it out of a senate committee & will likely make it out of the senate. It’ll probably be killed in the house.
It took 1 election cycle (with some preceding recalls) to split the dems hold on the legislature in a state where the dems spent years and many many millions of dollars to test their “model” for turning a state dem. That’s not counting the carrots offered by Bloomie the Hut & Biden to pass those egregious laws back in ’13.
The Colorado GoP is in many ways even dumber than the national GoP, which is sayin’ sumfin’. If you want a real lengthy explanation, & if Unc will pardon some shameless but probably relevant self promotion, I penned a piece on what happened.

But after the recalls here Bloomie the Hut has been focusing on referendums. We reminded them that a political price still accompanies gunowner control laws. (which was a nice piece of work considering the lackluster support the local GoP gave to the recalls). Plus, I think most gunowners here ignore the law & the sheriffs at least are refusing to enforce them, which further erodes a legislatures desire to take that election day risk.
