Get back to me on that next year after Democrats are reelected back to those same districts. Again the laws are still on the books. You accomplished nothing, except costing Colorado tax payers a lot of money.
I bet you can NOT post ANY links to polls that say Colorado residents support the laws that are on the books? Also, do you not know that there was a 20-15 Democrat lead in the senate, but now there's only a 18-17 lead? Do you not realize that even though Democrats still have the majority by 1 vote, that they no longer hold the gun control majority? A few Democrat senators are pro gun senators.
I'm daring you to prove me wrong by posting a poll from a reputable source that states that people of Colorado support the gun control measures that were actually passed. Bet you can't...
Too bad that your rant isn't backed up by facts. Even leaders of gun control groups have admitted that the recall put a serious damper in their efforts. Even they're man and women enough to admit that they lost this battle that was apparently important enough for them to spend 3 million on. Why aren't you man enough to admit it?

Again... I didn't ask about stricter gun laws. I asked you to show me a poll (just one) where the majority of the people in Colorado supported what was actually passed. Try Again.

Read the question. I'm not interested in whether they supported more gun control or not. I want to know if they supported the bill that the two ousted Senators passed. I already suspect that you looked it up, found out that the majority did not support it, had to save face, so you purposely posted the wrong poll results.

The majority of the people of Colorado wanted stricter gun laws. The Democrats gave them stricter gun laws. If Colorado Democrats are smart, they will stay the course and not be intimidated by the NRA. This recall election accomplished very little. It was nothing but a bullying tactic by the gun lobby.

Again for the 100th time... I didn't ask about stricter gun laws. I asked you to show me a poll (just one) where the majority of the people in Colorado supported what was actually passed. Try another time. I already suspect that you looked it up, found out that the majority did not support it, had to save face, so you purposely posted the wrong poll results.
Next question. Did the gun lobby win a lawsuit that cause the senators to lose their jobs, or were they voted out by the same people that you claim wanted these gun control measures? It sounds like it was more like a bullying tactic by their constituents to me.
Democrats voters in Colorado voted the two Senators out of office, the Coloradoan now has a bipartisan pro gun majority , and they're already working on getting those laws repealed lol...
Why are you ignoring my questions?

Here you go:
"An August 22 poll by Quinnipiac University found that the majority of voters in Colorado approve of the specific pieces of the gun law package -- they expressed support for expanded background checks by an 82 to 16 percent margin and support for the limit on magazine capacity by a 49 to 48 percent margin. While Giron and Morse were defeated, the legislation they support is popular with state voters at large."

While Giron and Morse were defeated, the legislation they support is popular with state voters at large."
"All voters oppose 54 - 40 percent the stricter new gun control laws which led to the recall effort. Democrats support the stricter laws 78 - 16 percent, while opposition is 89 - 7 percent among Republicans and 56 - 39 percent among independent voters. Women are divided on the stricter laws 48 - 45 percent, with men opposed 64 - 33 percent."

lol in that link, they refer to a poll by "Quinnipiac University". In that bais article, its worded very carefully that "majority of voters in Colorado approve of the specific pieces of the gun law package." When you accually go and read the Quinnipiac University findings, they state, and I quote:
