Some 54 of the 62 Colorado Sheriffs have joined in a lawsuit/injuction appeal to negate the new Colorado Left-Wing laws regarding firearms transfers and magazine capacities:

(One is a Disabled Rights Group which alleges that the magazine capacity limitations discriminate against the disabled because they wouldn't be able to change low-capacity magazines effectively in an SD or an HD situation.)
Of special interest, there is a move afoot to recall the President of the Colorado Senate for his activities in passing that recent idiotic legislation --even though he's up for re-election next year. If this comes to pass, it would be a bombshell for any other legislators, either here in Colorado or almost
anywhere, who are tempted to infringe on one of our basic natural civil rights.
Of significance to me is that most of those Sheriffs are from more rural counties in Colorado, once again pointing out the fact that urban areas have a wildly disproportionate and tyrannical influence on State politics. In addition, it has been pointed out, most of the Police Chiefs in the State were "for" the legislation.
What's significant about that is that for the most part, Police Chiefs are
appointed and Sheriffs are
elected.
Kinda tells you something, don't it?
Just figured you'd like to know.
