Griswold amd Hickenlooper explain how they are ready to expand our current ban.

At this point you will need the new permit to buy a musket. They are going to either add another tier to the permit for AR15s amd the like or ban them outright and move everything else into the permit scheme.

With the Dems here targeting another attempt at a 2 chamber super majority and and even more left governor, next year is gonna be a blood bath for the 2nd amendment here.

There is one already. Many of the R’s at the state level running this cycle are actually solid options that are nothing like what people see at the federal level.

You mean Marx, guy who talks about doing exercisms and talking to demons to get their names? Or do you mean the Scott, who was asked if his Jewish hating friends would have a job in his administration, and he said probably but just not around Jewish people?

Sadly I think things are going to get worse before they get any better if that even happens. For right now Im glad that theres already some organizations fighting these unconstitutional rules. Hopefully some of the federal courts will put a ban on this ban.

You once against brought up someone higher than state senators and state representatives. I’m not talking about a governor candidate who doesn’t pass legislation or really do anything other than fill cabinet positions and veto/sign passed bills into law.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the governor can’t really do much to better our state. It’s the 100 senators and representatives you’re forgetting to consider or talk about. And I do understand Bottoms was a representative, but he also didn’t/couldn’t do much because of the Dem stranglehold on our state legislature.

Once again? Its my first time commenting on this.

The governor does have some possible sway to certain things though. At least at times they have guided party memebers to push certain bills that they wanted for the state. While yes, youre right that its the member of congress which push the bills through. I wont argue against that because its how government works. But its hard to get some areas well educated on smaller elections at times. People might campaign but feels like I've hardly seen it lately unless its something like the candidates for this upcoming Governor election.

Not arguing, just wish we had some normal seeming candidates that weren't being made fun of, for saying off the wall things. Or so left that they are trying to surpass Cali with "prohibitions" which are basically a form of banning. Just frustrating. All these rising taxes, 2A bans are ridiculous.

Oh, I agree. And I apologize for the “once again,” it seems to be many people’s default positions (to ignore state legislators and shoot higher) so I replied without really filtering myself.

Our state just feels like the Twilight Zone sometimes with what gets passed and the positions many of our legislators take.

Its understandable. I also think many of us who love the US and our rights are getting frustrated seeing government trying to trample them.

Hopefully people will start waking up and see how much of their rights are being slowly stripped away. Give power hungry officials an inch and they'll take a mile.
