GREELEY, Colo. – A county in Colorado that was immortalized in the novel and 1978 miniseries “Centennial” once again could achieve fame as it finds itself in a unique position among America’s counties – considering a bid to become the 51st state.

Weld County is one of the nation’s largest counties, and at nearly 3,000 square miles it is larger than the combined land areas of Rhode Island, Delaware and the District of Columbia. The county was also immortalized in James Michener’s “Centennial,” a novel about a fictitious town whose history mirrored the history of the state.


 

County officials have made national news several times in recent months for their strong stand for constitutional rights including the Second Amendment. However, following a particularly contentious legislative session where Democrats controlled both chambers of the legislature as well as the governorship, the divide has gotten so great that county commissioners are seriously entertaining asking voters to decide if they want to secede and form the state of North Colorado.

Law shuts down gun buyback effort

New state demand for background checks hit books July 1
Published: 5 hours ago
 


A new Colorado law aimed at shutting down access to guns – by imposing an across-the-board requirement for background checks for all gun deals – has closed down a favorite tool of those opposing firearms rights – the gun buyback program.

The situation has been reported by the Denver Post, which said organizers canceled a planned buyback effort after Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said the event, set for Aug. 4, would be nearly impossible to do.


 

“Procedurally we can’t follow through at this time,” the sheriff told the newspaper, even though he said the effort would be legal.

Colorado’s government, controlled by Democrats in the state House, Senate and the governor’s office, over the last session rammed through a slew of new gun restrictions, regulations and requirements.

One of them demands that buyers go to a licensed firearms dealer and undergo a background check for even private sales.

But officials report the “InstaCheck” systems are not mobile.

So for each purchase in a buyback program, the “purchaser” would have been required to travel to a gun dealer for the check.

Pelle told the Post one solution would be for the group organizing the buyback – in this case a private group called “Together Colorado” – to find a licensed gun dealer willing to hold an event to buy back guns to be turned over to the sheriff’s office for destruction.

Authorities had said members of the organization would be required to pass a background check for each gun purchase.

The incident is just the latest wave to hit the state from the Democrats’ work this year.

COLORADO SENATE PRESIDENT MORSE RECALLED

Statistically impossible for him to climb back, down 800 votes with only about 2400-2500 still left to be counted. Race called about 10 minutes ago.
One down, hopefully one more to go.

Update: Morse concedes, Giron appears recalled as well - conceded. Way to go CO.

Colorado group seeks another recall
Denver – When two Colorado lawmakers were recalled last month in a referendum on gun control, opponents of the recall election had this to console them: At least, they said, the twin defeats did not alter the balance of power in Denver, the state capital.

Now gun rights advocates are looking to change that.

Organizers have received official go-ahead to start gathering signatures in a bid to oust state Sen. Evie Hudak, a Democrat from the Denver suburb of Westminster, who was the target of a failed recall petition drive earlier this year. The group, certified by Colorado’s secretary of state, has until Dec. 3 to collect just over 18,900 signatures to force a vote.

The stakes: control of the state Senate, which Democrats hold by a tenuous 18-17 edge.

Hudak is another liberal gun control freak, good choice!
