The money quote: “…when you come after our guns, we’re going to take you out”
DENVER (Washington Post) — Gun-rights activists in Colorado turned in petition signatures Monday to set up the first recall in state history of a state lawmaker after he backed some of the strictest gun control measures to become law in the U.S. this year.
The opponents of Democratic Senate President John Morse said they turned in twice as many signatures as needed Monday to put Morse back on the ballot. Carting white paper boxes of petitions, the gun-rights advocates said Morse will pay for backing a series of gun control measures that were signed into law earlier this year.
“This shot will be heard around the world,” said Bill Adaska, a retired engineer from Denver who volunteered to gather recall signatures in Morse’s Colorado Springs district. “This is the race, right here, that’s going to show Washington and Chicago that when you come after our guns, we’re going to take you out.”
Our thoughts: We wish them luck and support their endeavors. Bravo.
We should be doing the same thing with all the IL legislators that committed to vote for hb997 and then backed out. The corrupt bunch running IL won’t respect us unless they fear us. These people need to be recalled from office. It’s time to name names. Who betrayed us?
Amen brother!
Absolutley!
i think this strategy is effective and should be implemented here in illinois. i would be willing to collect signatures.
I would too. Let’s do it. It will be a lot easier to get that junk we got changed if Mr. Lawmaker is fearing for his job.
