from citizens who have a right to a gun. Besides crooks, psychos, rapists, abusers, et al will get guns any way. So having back ground checks is useless. Besides everyone should be armed to protect themselves from these people just in case. In their view the 2nd Amendment should have NO restrictions of ANY kind. That means any person regardless of their status or condition has this absolute right. Period. And they will recall any politician who even suggests otherwise.
This logic was the gist of what one lady said she experienced when she asked a petitioner why they were recalling a legislator.
The issue in Colorado and the rest of the nation is the NRA's belief that any citizen has the right to carry a loaded fire arm anywhere they want. There should be no restrictions of any kind as to who owns a gun, what kind of weapon they own and their right to carry the same weapon any where they want. That means grocery stores, schools, bars, restaurants, the street etc are all legitimate places where a weapon can be carried openly.
Now you see what we are up against in Colorado right now. And the NRA is paying $5 per signature for the recall. And they are sending out even felons and criminals to collect the signatures. Paid petitioners are NOT being screened.
