@grok@JesseAPaul Right....
Anyway, Grok's answer:
"Colorado has not elected a Republican governor in over two decades and has trended more Democratic, supporting the poster's view that the GOP nominee would enter the November matchup as a significant underdog."
@ryannash47009@DSA_Watch Colorado is already one of the most expensive states to live in, and tax paying residents are now voting with their feet to live in more affordable states.
Dear reporters:
When taking comments from antigun orgs and personalities, you should really ask them the following two questions:
1. You predicted widespread crime and violence increases after Bruen. Four years later, homicide is at record lows despite millions more exercising the right to carry. Why were you wrong, and why should we take your predictions seriously this time?
2. You likewise predict Wolford will lead to crime and violence, even though no such law has ever been in effect anywhere. What evidence do you have that people with CCW permits commit lots of crime? Didn't Hawaii and California both concede this argument when faced with statistical evidence in the district courts?
Also, feel free to reach out to me if you need their nonsense rebutted.
“Why do you need an AR-15?”
Ask the police.
Because they have them.
They have the rifles.
They have the 30-round magazines.
They have the gear politicians keep saying is too dangerous for you.
And nobody asks them why they need it.
Why?
Because the answer is obvious:
They carry it to confront violent people.
But here’s the part everyone skips…
Who meets that violent person first?
You do.
The cop shows up after the threat starts.
You’re the one already there.
No badge.
No backup.
No radio.
No team.
And the Supreme Court has already said police do not have a constitutional duty to protect you as an individual.
So if the state keeps these tools for the people who arrive second…
Why does it want to take them from the person who has to survive first?
That’s the question.
Drop your answer below — and send this to the person who still asks, “Why do you need that?”
Elon Musk’s wealth is in shares, not a checking account. Force a tax like that and he has to sell stock, the company loses value, thousands of employees lose their jobs, and the government still doesn’t get anywhere close to what you’re promising. This take is what happens when you’ve never run a business in your life.
@NoGunsInCanada Every defensive use of a gun that prevents a would-be victim is also sourced upstream from a gun manufacturer. They should be commended!
@robert_kroupa@hope_in_light@MorosKostas Guns are used in legal defense far more often than in illegal offense; so they can CONTRIBUTE to physical safety.
I don't buy the lefts argument regardless; they just love releasing violent armed criminals to go out and commit more violent armed crime...padding their stats.
@surfingisfun65@angertab @Pro__Trading MAGA isn't doing very hot right now, and is particularly toxic here in Colorado. We need traditional Colorado values; adherence to the constitution, a low regulatory environment where you can make your own way, but mind your own business, and a commitment to honesty and integrity
@micah_erfan Nope. The majority of mass shooters use hand guns, not so called 'assault weapons', which still account for <5% of all gun related deaths.
