Oh, you'll love it! You see, Colorado has been infected by California to the point that the politics are nearly identical, though they have not advanced as far. In Colorado you have the written laws, and then the laws and cops and judges make up as the situations change.
Howdy Pard!
I'd like to see some documentation on how it has changed. Most of the Californians I run into are here because of how things are in California.
Of those I've encountered, one of the reasons they came here, is because of restrictive laws in California. They came to Colorado because our laws are more tolerable and flexible. But if I've missed specific cases where our laws have changed negatively, especially as pertain to OC'ing (point of the whole forum BTW), I'd appreciate seeing specific citations to support the claim. What situational changes have led cops and judges to alter laws in Colorado? They actually are not able to alter any of the laws, as suggested here, because that's the job of the state legislature. The judges and cops are actually bound to adhere to the laws, not change them. Judges can interpret laws in creative ways, but if they do not adhere to the law itself, such cases get reversed on appeal. Unless, of course, I've missed specific cases. Can you provide citations to show where it has happened here? I'd appreciate it.
So you think you have the right to keep and bear arms, until a judge and his hookers decide different. If they want to take from you, they can. And they don't have to justify anything. And hiring a lawyer does not ensure anything but helping the liar, err I mean lawyer pay for his hookers and his home.
I'd definately need specific citations to the above statement. I don't know anybody who has had their rights yanked. Maybe I've missed something, but I haven't seen anything to support that contention. Please provide such citations to support that statement above.
If such ever did occur, I think you'd find a whole bunch of us taking action to address such abuses of a citizen's rights. We Coloradoans don't take kindly to having our rights infringed, and don't shy away from standing our ground against folks who would try to usurp them. So I really want to know where you got this idea.
What you seem to be saying, and I think it insulting to an uncomfortable degree, is that cops and judges infringe our rights with impunity, and we Colorado folk are just too yellow and chicken-hearted to confront abuses of our rights. If it ain't what you're saying outright, the meaning is there nevertheless. That's why I want you to provide citations for your claims. If you're calling us out, then I think you should lay your cards on the table so we understand why you're doing so.
