NEWS: Colorado Anti-Second Amendment Legislator’s Criminal Record Exposed (March 6th 2013)

 

Done

 

Thankyou guys! Dunno how some of those things on that site get such high numbers, this just makes sense and is getting no attention PIMP IT OUT!

 

Unless it's done at the state level, it would probably require an amendment to the constitution as it lays out the requirements. According to this article, some states may already require it:

Bump

 

yeah this shit wont work, the whole system is to corrupt. this is another way to try trick the people into believing their gov cares about changing for the better. we have to start a revolution to ever see real change

 

actually...a few pieces of quality legislation would do it, and save a lot of bloodshed.

 

Done!

 

Our country was ran and started by criminals.
Same thing today.

 

12 signatures so far.

 

please tell us more

 

Look it up. When everyone was dieing first coming to America they offered prisoners (including murderers) the chance to have a new start in America. Most of our forefathers were prisoners.

 

link?

 

OUTSTANDING! Done!

 

Pick up a higher education history book.

 

no disrespect...and I want no part in an internet argument...

but, you made the assertion "Most of our forefathers were prisoners"...I believe it would be your responsibility to back it up beyond suggesting "higher education reading"

 

Welp if you want to know, Pick up a American history book otherwise don't believe me or believe me. Besides if i gave you an internet link it would probably be a bunch of garbage. its like that tv commercial you believe everything on the Internet?

 

no I do not.

and you have not given me a reason to believe "Most of our forefathers were prisoners".

-most?
-which forefathers specificially?
-where imprisioned?
-when imprisioned?
-for what crimes?
-for how long?
-why were they released?

my point is: if you are going to make a bold statement as you did, you may get challanged on such a statement...and if you want it to have credibility...you will need more than, "go read a book and find out for yourself".

good luck.
