DENVER (AP) -Gun control is expected to be a heated topic at the Colorado Legislature in the coming months, and legislative leaders have indicated that it will be difficult to find common ground.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said this week that ``the time is right'' to debate gun control legislation.

Lawmakers weighed in on the topic Friday, the day of a massacre a Connecticut elementary school.

Democratic Senate President John Morse says it's possible that his party will introduce legislation to ban assault weapons and that lawmakers need to balance people's right to own guns with public safety. Republicans Senate Leader Bill Cadman says his caucus' position on gun control hasn't changed.

So Wow did I get to close to the truth? And now you want me to go away, because it's getting to uncomfortable for you. I'm not going away. Now granted not all liberals want guns to go away but the majority do. And yes, most liberals care more about pot and their socialist utopia than the constitution, orbthe second amendment.

ITK, how about you zip it on Gun Control! I see you mentioned dope again in you post and bash liberals and blather about the Government raising your kids, all mark's of a fringe groups ideals? You say we care more about legalizing dope than we do about the second amendment? Well I'm hear to tell you again you are wrong! This is why your party got the hell kicked out of them this election, you guys just don't get it! Almost every Democrat I know supports the second amendment and have firearms for hunting as well as self defense. Don't blame liberals for no accountability as you put it, society is not made up of just liberals! How about society as a whole and leave the liberal and dope comments to your self.

The mind altering Rx drugs and the violent video games are more to blame than the guns.

Self defender, thats the problem no one is responsible anymore. People in this generation are being taught that there is no accountability for anything. And the liberals feed on that. People aren't raising their children the corrupt government is, starting in the schools. Its truly a disaster, and I for one am truly sickened and saddened by it. People for the most part are sheeple, they care more about dope legalization than their second amendment rights.

Australia took the guns away three years ago and their crime rate quadrupled over night. Gun control should be easement of legal rights to those responsible and stiffer penalities to those who are not, including those that are an accessory to criminals. Pay attention to what your children watch & do, be involved with your children and raise them right, be a responsible parent or pay the price as a criminal accessory.

Put the blame where it belongs. People glorify Hollywood when directors and stars “push the boundaries” in the name of creativity. We are told not to judge….we don’t have the right to dictate what is moral or right. We are told that we must accept behavior that was deemed absolutely unacceptable 20 years ago. After all, we are more evolved and sophisticated than those other people. The top-selling video games that our children play are scored by the number of people killed or by how many crimes one can commit before being caught. Foul language is common in everyday conversation. Ethics are situational and morals are dictated by opportunity. There is no respect for one another, manners are not taught and honor is an archaic concept. “Earn ” and “deserve” are not interchangeable terms. But every day TV and movies bombard us with images of success that most will never achieve. Advertisements hammer home the messages that “You deserve a break today”, “Just do it”, and “No rules

Ban ritilan and bad doctors, reintroduce God and Country in schools, get rid of bad lawmakers and leftist idots in power, in the schools and legislatures. Their idea of common sense makes no sense at all.

All gun control is going to accomplish is keeping weapons away form responsible gun owners. It's certainly not going to stop criminals, hence the word criminal they don't follow the law anyway. Also it's alot easier to take over a group of people who have no way to defend themselves. The left has been trying for years to squash the second amendment.

There doesn't need to be more gun control. This shooting, Aurora, and Columbine were all the direct result of a Healthcare/Marxism complex psy-ops. There needs to be more Healthcare/Marxism complex control or at the least some therapist facing medical malpractice charges.
