Don’t mind filling out the paperwork, and waiting to get their permit. That’s because most responsible gun owners would rather wait and go through the bureaucracy than just let whoever wants to carry a gun do so.
At this point, is there any pandering that is untouchable by the Republicans? Is there a third rail for any of these candidates, any issue that at least one of them won’t try and maneuver further right on?
I suppose this is sort of a rhetorical question, come to think of it.
was so “progressive”.
What with a SOCIALIST Congressman and all.
Let freedom ring.
So you support ANYONE being able to buy guns with no background checks?
n/t
Including those with diagnosed mental health issues and multiple felony arrests for violent crimes?
How else will he legally carry?
not have a desire to own any.
Well, except for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L…
But, my funds won’t allow it.
My nephew’s wife flew a C-130 cargo, which is what that’s based on. She did have light armaments on it as she flew into Afghanistan and came under ground fire from time to time.
I am in general support of the second amendment, with the proviso there is a compelling public safety issue denying ownership and concealed permits to certain individuals as above.
BTW, I grew up hunting and shooting and I have a concealed weapons permit.

Cuz the largest city, Burlington, ain’t all that scary.
The second time in as many weeks that Maes has had to explain himself and flip-flopped on a pretty important issue especially for his base. Agreed that he is more of a politician than he wants people to think. Alert to Tea Party people is he really the guy you think he is?
Do you have a problem with the 2nd amendment?
The point of contention is in the famous matter of the interpretation and that pesky comma and militia concept.
I, one of millions, believe that the right “to bear arms” IS predicated on participating in a militia, which we don’t have any more.
The Supreme Court has decided otherwise and I accept that as the law of the land. Hopefully, in the long haul of time, that ruling will be the Plessy v. Ferguson of gun rights.
(I really have NO problem with responsible gun ownership, hunting, or target shooting. The NRA, to say nothing of the RMGOA, is over the top, way past responsible ownership like they used to be. Heck, I got my NRA safe hunter certification when I was a Boy Scout.)
But you’re giving BJ more attention than he deserves. He’s really just a troll.
Yeah, I’ve watched all those wars from afar and then I got snookered in!
Thanks for the reprimand!
on this website?
this flip flop issue is revealing more of maes the politician and less the “experienced” hero the tea partiers are so hoping for.
Maes also changed his position on Roe V. Wade and on illegal immigration. See previous pols stories for more info. Not to mention that just about every talking point he uses now is something he picked up on the campaign trail from other candidates. For someone who claims to hate politicians so much, he sure acts like the worst kind of politicians.
I saw that roe v. wade post on here. It got pretty heated let me tell you. I think it’s going to be easy for the McInnis campaign to kick Maes out with all of this recent news. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of news with McInnis lately.
After raising only $30,000 last month and $118,000 to date one would have to assume that Dan’s campaign will be coming to a screeching halt sometime in the near future. How is he supposed to compete with Hick’s $1.4 million? One of my coworkers received an email where he was actually asking people to print on their own dime his fliers to pass door-to-door. How many people are really going to do that? I also saw the Colorado Independent story where Dan reimbursed himself $35,000 for mileage including $5,000 for the first 4 months of the year. Any truth to the latest rumor that Dan has had others paying his mortgage, including a lobbyist?
I’m surprised that the mileage story alone hasn’t blown Maes’ campaign out of the water. It’s so obviously WRONG and UNETHICAL.
Although I guess for something to be blown out of the water, it has to have been in the water to begin with – which Maes’ campaign has not. The fact that Maes got top-of-the-ballot preference just shows how ridiculously extreme the Colorado GOP has become recently.
Really the only concrete thing we know is that he can’t be governor. But after that we have no clue on his record or his possibly unethical campaign money issues. But rumors that stay around this long usually have a reason for sticking it out as long as these have. Usually they have a bit of truth in them.
that Maes has never even attended a state caucus.
First Maes says that he is on both sides of abortion and now he is straddling the fence on one of our constitutional rights; ie the right to carry weapons. What is the next issue you are going to flip flop on Maes?
Dan has said what he thinks the people want to hear this whole election cycle, not what he believes in. First the immigration situation, then abortion, and now this. No one should be surprised. He wants votes. Beyond the tea party his support is minimal. Any takers on what comes out of his mouth next. I am thinking he wants to legalize crack, because that is what the crack heads want. All the votes he can get he will take.
McInnis just cashes their paychecks
Spotting a probably non-answer:
The answer starts with the word “If”.
Spotting a definite non-answer:
The answer starts with the words “If the people of Colorado want…”
This is a perfect non-answer!
