And no, I’m not talking about the mainstream media (for once!). By “they,” I mean “we.” You and me. Responsibly armed Americans who have once again refused to allow anti-gun bureaucrats to continue their push for ridiculous anti-gun legislation. You see, I don’t like when people try to control my ability to protect my loved ones. And you and I both know gun control just doesn’t work. That’s why I was pleased to see the citizens of Colorado fight back. Remember what was happening there just a few short months ago? Remember how patriotic voters from across the state united to recall several key Colorado gun control advocates? Well, the recall election of Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron�two Democrats who displayed supporrt for expanded background checks and ammunition limits�took place oon September 10. The results? You guessed it: A huge win for all of us. That’s right. Colorado voters removed both state lawmakers from office and replaced them with pro-gun Republicans. According to Fox News, “Colorado's historic recall of [these] two state legislators who backed new gun restrictions may have national repercussions, as advocates say the effort will make it harder to revive stalled efforts in Congress to tighten firearm laws.” That, my friend, is what I call the “ripple effect.” It’s why seemingly small infringements on our liberties are dangerous. It’s also why seemingly small victories carry great weight. And it’s why you and I must never stop fighting for what we believe. Patriots in Colorado have stepped up with a resounding message: responsibly armed Americans will continue to fight for the great freedoms affirmed in our Constitution. Indeed, you and I will continue to fight to protect all the things we love�life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I’ll leave you with this great quote from Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Way to go, Colorado. Take Care and Stay Safe,
