Making a statement...

The people of Colorado have spoken, and in my opinion put an exclamation point on it.  They successfully recalled two state representatives that voted for the knee jerk gun laws enacted earlier this year.  Both are now out of a job.  The exclamation point is that one was from a district where the Dems have the majority, and the other (the state senate president) was leaving office next year due to term limits anyway.  When you tell someone to GTFO when they were planning to leave office anyway, that sends a message.  What would really send a message at this point would be for the next election cycle to move more of these politicians out of office and those self same laws to be repealed in the next session.  However, I doubt that will happen.  History has shown that once enacted, legislators are loathe to remove laws, even those deemed wrong by the general population.  It took 13 years to repeal the 18th amendment, and that was hugely unpopular with the masses, in addition to sending crime through the roof.  So I'm not holding my breath on a repeal.
