I don't see anything in the Constitution that says we have no recourse but to allow our children to be murdered by the most efficient killing machines.

There's already a fee for license in place. politicat Feb 2013 #19

The FFL check fee is now capped by the law sir pball Feb 2013 #49

Face it. The RW gun nuts are losing. baldguy Feb 2013 #30

Do I sense a mixed message? derby378 Feb 2013 #32

If you tire of being lumped in with the right-wingers, I'd suggest you stop standing with them. Robb Feb 2013 #33

My dear Robb, I'm standing where I've always been since 2003... derby378 Feb 2013 #34

Glad you like Dean. Now stop standing with the right-wing asylum on guns. Robb Feb 2013 #39

I'm standing with the Constitution, not the teahadists, silly... derby378 Feb 2013 #54

Ok, ok, gun nuts... nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #36

California charges for them, next. nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #35

Depends on how much the fee turns out to be sir pball Feb 2013 #37

CO's constitution requires these sorts of laws be designed to pay for themselves from the get-go. nt Robb Feb 2013 #40

Which is entirely reasonable sir pball Feb 2013 #41

Actually, don't get me started. That part's screwy. Robb Feb 2013 #42

I'm not parsing it as strict limits on costs sir pball Feb 2013 #44

I agree, with this law it won't matter much. Robb Feb 2013 #45

Bad analogy though sir pball Feb 2013 #46

If the funding works that way, you're right. Robb Feb 2013 #50

The way I'm reading it, that's how it works sir pball Feb 2013 #53

Good for the Colorado House for passing these very reasonable bills neverforget Feb 2013 #18

Kick. And note: all four house bills? Sponsored by women. Robb Feb 2013 #31

Great bill. aptal Feb 2013 #38

Because it's completely redundant sir pball Feb 2013 #47

Making it a felony would have at least detered it somewhat. aptal Feb 2013 #51

How would it deter it more than the Federal crime it already is? sir pball Feb 2013 #52

It is not a federal crime to transfer a firearm. aptal Feb 2013 #55

Oops...reading error sir pball Feb 2013 #56

Right, this is how the are closing the "loop-hole." aptal Feb 2013 #57
