Cory Gardner has the nerve of accusing US Senator Udall of being partisan? You've got to be joking. Gardner voted nothing but the party line and extreme all the way (click here). Isn't he Tea Party? He certainly has learned how to show off his whitened teeth and a big smile. President Obama taught him that. And instead of ferns he uses pine trees.
He voted no and against the party on HR5272, but, the question Gardner is not whether he votes with his Party 95% of the time, but, does he ever depart from rhetorical legislation that never makes it to law?
Vote Smart's Synopsis: HR 5272
Cory says, "One of our most basic and fundamental rights is the right to protect ourselves. I believe this right should be expanded and encouraged on every front. As a member of Congress, I will oppose any efforts by the federal government to create a federal database of gun owners and work tirelessly to protect each and every right guaranteed to the citizens by the U.S. Constitution."
I remember after Aurora shooting of 2012 a young woman being interviewed by the media. When asked if she thought stricter gun laws would be helpful, she stated, "No, it is just the way it is." That pretty much sums up the people not in just Colorado, but, many across the country. The American people have been abused by right wing fear mongers and when it comes to whether or not they need or want guns, they are resigned to the 'state of play' of gun violence and death. It is part of the landscape as far as some are concerned. The right wing knows what it's doing in wearing down resistance for their cronies. It has made a complete disaster of the USA's gun control infrastructure. But, that disaster serves it's purposes.
Never one Republican will state, "I think Judge Scalia has it all wrong and he ought to be impeached for his gun rights opinion." See if Republicans weren't so rhetorical, they would actually have to admit any legislation passed at least at the state level is illegal according to the last Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment. I have yet to see a Democrat in any debate when guns may come up say, "You know Cory (or whoever) you have it all wrong and you are endorsing unlawful legislation even according to the Supreme Court's decision." Republicans are never held accountable for their advocacy for gun laws that are already illegal according to the current precedent.
"In Colorado, Gardner introduced legislation to protect our Second Amendment Rights." What is so difficult to understand? He is a salesman in any aspect of legislation at the state or federal level for the NRA. That is being a lobbyist. When a legislator is willing to be a salesperson for a crony when the current USA law or precedent states otherwise, he is a lobbyist.
It has been amazing to watch the right wing at any state level where appropriate to walk all over existing statue. The so called "States Rights" label they carry around on their sleeve is not suppose to mean ANARCHY is optional.
It doesn't matter the topic. Be it guns, babies, women's health and the list is long and undistinguished; they create anarchy and that is against the law. When people want to change existing statute, it is suppose to be written and passed at the level where statutory priority exists. In other words, Second Amendment Rights has been decided for a long time. It is a federal decision. That means the states have to abide by it UNTIL it is changed. If a state wants to write new law that changes gun rights, it has to pass the challenge of the federal law which means it should NEVER be enacted before it is decided by federal statutory authority.
The Right Wing can write state law all they want, but, they can't involve it if there are federal statues bearing it as lawful. The Supreme Court is always available for EMERGENCIES if the circumstances call for it. The Right Wing in the USA has been running anarchy through it's state legislatures since 2010. No one cares to stop them though. It is completely ridiculous.
Where states do win against a federal statute is IF the law is more stringent than federal law. If the state statue holds the federal statute at bay because it states a poison like arsenic has to be at a much lower amount than federal laws, then that supersedes until it is otherwise mitigated. Any judicial authority has the responsibility to uphold the more stringent law until it reaches appropriate statutory authority.
The gun rights laws that literally turn everyone in the country loose to do as they please, wherever they please, is held to the standard of the federal precedent to any lower court until it reaches the federal level. It has amazed me to realize the anarchy that has existed in this country with the Republicans at the state level. Then we wonder why there is a 5000 man militia ready to kill federal authorities; well if all the country does is break the law themselves who the heck is in charge around here, Governors or the President?

Vote Smart's Synopsis: HR 5272
Vote to pass a bill that prohibits any federal agency from using funds after July 30, 2014 to consider any application of any undocumented immigrant requesting consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals, to authorize deferred action for any undocumented immigrant, or to authorize any undocumented immigrant to work in the United States.
The NRA and extremist gun rights are a sincere issue in Colorado. This is an off year election and we all know what happened to gun laws and the candidates that passed them in any recall effort.
Colorado is the abused child of gun rights in the USA. It gets pummeled from both ends. The massacres take place and while the public after Columbine wanted more protections as years have gone by the NRA and loose gun control have imposed the need for weapons, although, that is still theory. There is not one loose gun law that has stopped mass murders anywhere.
