    The new laws that were passed by Colorado's elected officials were never once given a thought of exactly how they could or would be enforced without additional laws that will call for a complete gun registry. So that Law enforcement will know who exactly has the guns as of right now like the sheriff says how do you enforce the new laws.

    They lost sight of the root of their problem that being the mental health of some of their citizens as both of the terrible shootings that have taken place in Colorado were when individuals with mental problems went unchecked even after being diagnosed and people being told that they were a threat.

    Making something against the law will not always stop it.. If guns were ever banned than only the bad guys would have them..Criminals prefer unarmed victims!!

    Having a gun will not help all the time but being defenseless will never help..

    Calling 911 and asking the bad guy to wait is not a viable option.

    Better to have a gun and not need it than to need it and not have it!!!

    Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens.

    No way and No how. Limiting a citizens gun rights is like passing a "Anti-ownership" law to fight crime. The law takes all the money out of your wallet that way thieves will not be tempted to rob you, thus crime will drop!

    No but Colorado needs more signs on buildings that say "NO GUNS ALLOWED" like they are plastering all over Connecticut and the criminals will either walk away or leave their guns at the door.

    The whole United States doesn't need more gun control. It isn't the guns fault for killing someone, it is the handlers fault.

    Nope. No state does. Schools do need to have a resource officer though. That's really the only thing that will change anything.
