I wonder if this one will be recalled or just not re-elected.

Guns as the sole means of self-defense is absurd, Colorado Democrat says
DENVER - Another Colorado Democrat has stoked the state’s raging gun-control debate by challenging the argument that guns are needed for self-defense.

Colorado House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst said in an interview on YouTube last week that firearms ownership is redundant because the state legislature keeps citizens safe from harm.

“As a woman, I have the right not to carry a gun and to feel safe on the streets, and that’s what we provide for in the state legislature is for all of us in the state of Colorado — to feel safe on the streets without having to carry a gun,” said Ms. Hullinghorst on the Web-based “Tim Caffrey Show.”

She also took a swipe at gun owners. “The thought that the only way we can protect ourselves is to wield our own weapon is completely absurd and an argument that I absolutely discount as frivolous,” Ms. Hullinghorst said.
RE: the part in red. And exactly HOW does the state legislature do that? Do they act as personal body guards for each and every citizen?

IMHO - This woman's seabag isn't packed properly, is missing a few items, and what she does have isn't properly stenciled. In other words, her belfry has an over abundance of bats.

Wasn't it a Colorado case involving a woman who was murdered by an ex husband/love interest after calling the police, who failed to appear on her doorstep in order to shoot him and protect her, that went all the way to SCOTUS which held that the state has no duty to protect individual citizens after her family sued the state a few years ago?

These aristocrats who receive police protection around the clock disgust me.

As an engineer, I view redundancy as a good thing. Now the fact that she misused it in the most asinine way, is another issue altogether.

That woman epitomizes the saying :: "Better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than to speak and remove all doubt".

What would be cool? Have that as her OPPONENTS ad, and simply ask, "It's Evening in Colorado, There are villains afoot... do you feel safe?" :whistle:
