21. Boulder Had ZERO Murders Last Year

Wed Feb 13, 2013, 06:06 PM

Feb 2013

So hiring a lobbyist out of Boulder sits very well with me.
What's your beef with Boulder and Denver?
Columbine isn't in Denver, Aurora isn't Denver.

I'm glad Mayors Against Illegal Guns is pumping millions into doing something/anything.
Perhaps the NRA is more your style.

Colorado is made up of people from all over the states, especially the NE. As a native, most of my acquaintances came from other states. We don't generally dislike New Yorkers either.

Sounds like any gun changes will be bullshit as far as your concerned.

My neighbor is a constant reminder of the evil of guns - her ex took their only child and shot him in the head last year.
