The Police State, does not want competition.
I can clearly see why he wants the public as unarmed as possible.

The signatures have not been certified, he has not been voted out of office, just a little early to celebrate a victory or are you that truly desperate. Wait until the vote if there is a vote, quite a bit has changed since his election in 2010.

Maybe you didn't know this but state legislators are elected for issues besides their views on gun control, things like jobs.

Yeah, John Morse wants to institute a Police State. What an idiotic delusion.

I think they just might have picked the wrong person to go after with credentials like that, can't wait to see the opposition if it gets to that.

Here, since you need cites...
John Morse recall effort turns in 16,000 signatures | 9news.com

Petition signatures turned in for recall of John Morse : Politics : News : FOX21News.com

Sen. John Morse recalled: First Colorado legislative recall | Washington Times Communities

Gun-rights activists turn in signatures to recall Sen. John Morse

It's a fact, unless you think over 9000 of those signatures are fraudulent.

Oh, given his district I think leading the gun-control charge alienated enough of his constituents that he will be recalled. To avoid it I think he'll need 100% turnout from his still-supporters, and generally in a recall election you see the pro-recall side more energized.

Although I doubt he cares too much. He's term limited anyway and can't run again. This will just end his time in office a little bit prematurely. Given that he's term limited, this just seems like a huge waste of money to me.

They probably got enough. In general, you try and collect 133% of what you need since in even the best run signature drive, 25% are not valid.

I would imagine of the 16,000 signatures some 4,000-5,000 are invalid (not fraudulent): either non-registered voters or voters not from his district.

16,000 petition signatures...... ~27,000 votes the last election......I think its pretty clear John Morse doesn't stand a chance.
