55. No they have not guaranteed a damn thing

Your logic is poor. The local Republicans are getting tired of getting their ass handed to them in terms of gun control. The state wants to be a little more reasonable and better gun control.

The rural folks do NOT need a machine gun or assault rifles to keep the local wildlife away. They need a noise deterrent and it's very easy to make one without having to use a killing machine.

After Aurora, I think the entire state is ready to embrace a little more sanity in gun control. That's why this year, more Republicans were thrown out of Colorado House and Senate to ensure a stronger Democratic majority.
