Having been a long time member of the NRA, I appreciate their efforts, who along with several other Pro 2nd Amendment Groups, contributed over $350,000.00 to counter the same amount allegedly spent by Bloomberg and his cronies to stop the recall. We need the same thing to happen in other States.
As far as putting politics aside, the lines are drawn pretty clear where both sides interests lay. Those politicians in Colorado thought they were immune and hopefully learned a lesson and others of their kind will think twice before crossing the line with inane, feel good gun control laws that do nothing but disarm honest, law abiding folks. A real celebration would be in order, if they repealed or amended the laws that were passed.
Meanwhile, California passed a law banning new sales magazines for semi-automatic weapons and requiring current owners to register their firearms. The registry is of course another brick in the wall towards confiscation. Guess which political party controls the state?
I go along with the NRA which supports meaningful efforts to address the problems of violent crime and mass violence in America, through swift and certain prosecution of violent criminals; securing our schools; and fixing our broken mental health system. Any gun owner who thinks that certain politicians have any real respect for the 2nd Amendment, and starts buying off on their so called "common sense laws" is delusional. Sure they'd be delighted if we left the "politics" out of it.
Loads of people who don't live in those cities with the highest violent crime and murder rates, thanks to having the strictest gun control in the country, know better.
