If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Can't they just have David Gregory take possession of the guns?

Is the Sheriff that told them to cease and desist one of the CO sheriffs that came out against the new laws? Sweet irony if so - the progressives told those sheriffs that they had to follow the law, and this one did.  =D

Does the State law apply to law enforcement transfers in a "buy back" situation?

They could have handed over their barter goodies to the Sheriff and let him run the "buy back" and bypassed the FFL requirement.

Apparently my hope for irony Re: the Sheriff was wrong. This article states that the Sheriff wanted to do the buy back. Which begs AZ's question as to why the Sheriff then just didn't take the guns directly.

He is not part of the sheriffs that are suing.

You seem to be assuming an exemption for law enforcement.

That's because there always seems to be one. If that's not the case in CO, it's a pleasant surprise.

If a firearm is transferred to a private citizen (the buy back folks) there has to be a background check.  They can't take it in and then give it to the police without the checks and the CO system is not portable (according to the sheriff).

Still wondering how you can "buy back" something you have never owned in the first place....

Some of the remnants of the destroyed firearms would then be passed along to Boulder-area metalworking artist Jessica Adams to use for a sculpture aimed at creating gun violence awareness.
What is it with liberals and "awareness" gestures?  Everyone is "aware" of gun violence.  That is why citizens want to arm themselves.

When lefties bemoan the horrors of gun violence, it's raising awareness.

When the NRA advocates solutions to the problem of violence, it's fear-mongering.
