The gun-grabbers' agenda is dependent upon being able to pick apart segments of gunowners and separate them from their guns.

No one's against banning "cheap" guns, right? "Saturday Night Specials"? Yet, it's interesting that I've been in a couple of homes of elder and very poor people and that's what I find them protecting their lives and what little property they have with. It's all they could afford, in spite of often being inherently unsafe.

At the other end of the spectrum, let's consider the whole "long range" discussion. Some of you here would love to bag an elk or deer at 800 yards. Some of you here would call that unethical. Some of you are traditional blackpowder or bow hunters and may not care either way. I heard it a couple of weeks ago. "Our founding fathers didn't need sniper scopes on their hunting rifles." If that portion of the agenda were to meet those gunowners/hunters who believe long-range hunting is "unethical", aided by apathetic responses from those hunters who "don't care" .... How would you project the outcome? Nothing more powerful than 4x? Iron sights only?

That's exactly what's happened now with the latest spate of "assault weapon" and standard-capacity magazine bans. The "unethicals" and "don't cares" didn't show up to the debate, or worse - they actively allied themselves with the gun-grab agenda.

"United we stand, divided we fall" has never been more applicable to us than it is right now.

Colorado is at a tipping point. More and more hunters and 2A supporters I know there are talking of moving their residences elsewhere. Their loss as pro-2A voters will only solidify the political stranglehold the anti-2A front range has on the rest of the state. If you can't move there, bolster their ranks, and with your collective votes push the Caliban back to whence they came, Colorado will be lost. If you're unable to move there, the least you can do is continue to support the voters there who are still in the fight, as well as the organizations attempting to daylight the front range's agenda for Colorado.

There is, I believe, a "sleeping giant" in Colorado - all those people in rural areas who believe their votes don't count, and who didn't vote. Wake that giant up. Get them to the polls and crush the Denver-Boulder political bloc.
