Idiot, or more likely, LIAR!

Colorado Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields, whose bill to ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds ignited an ongoing firestorm of protest and which could cost the state jobs if a manufacturer of such equipment makes good on its promise to move to another state, didn’t realize that her bill would outlaw practically every magazine currently for sale in the state.

That’s because the bill specifies that magazines that can be “readily converted” to hold more than 15 bullets will also be outlawed.

Practically every magazine on the market can be easily converted with readily available extenders, as demonstrated in a video posted by John Caldera, the president of the libertarian Independence Institute.

Any politician who proposes legislation without understanding it's effect should be ridden out of office on a rail.

To suggest a bill needs to be passed to be able to know what is in it is taking it to the sublime.

Three points.

1.)  No one who introduces a firearms related bill knows a damn thing about firearms.
2.)  Standard "D" BS - "We must pass the bill to find out what's in it."
3.)  The Gov could use this for cover to not sign the bill into law.  But he wont.  I'm sure BHO as promised him some plum position for pushing the party agenda.

A well stated argument against this f*cking piece of trash poorly thought out legislation.

Personally I don't think this was oversight. I think this was intention. I mean MB was testifying about these bills! I know that gun owners in CO were WELL represented in front of the legislature. These commies just don't care.

Legislator’s Criminal Record Exposed

By: Kyle Forti (Diary)  |  March 6th, 2013 at 08:00 PM  |  15

According to a Colorado Bureau of Investigations report obtained by Media Trackers, State Representative Rhonda Fields (D-Aurora) was arrested in 1976 on a charge of larceny and again in 1991 on a charge of shoplifting. Despite her own criminal record, Rep. Fields has sought to limit the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

An apparent mugshot of Fields was posted to the Magpul Industries Facebook page by a private user after legislation to limit gun magazine capacity, which was cosponsored by Fields, drove the company to announce that it was closing its doors in Colorado and moving out of state.

Rep. Fields has sponsored multiple gun control bills currently under debate in the Colorado Legislature, including legislation to ban on magazines with the capacity to hold more that 15 rounds, criminalize the private sale or transfer of a firearm without a background check,ban on concealed carry permits on the college campuses, and increase background check fees.

Fields has also co-sponsored Sen. Evie Hudak’s legislation which would not only strip anyone subject to a restraining order of their Second Amendment rights, but would also require the same to relinquish any firearms they own to the state.

Sen. Hudak has recently been in the national spotlight for remarks she made to rape survivor Amanda Collins. During testimony from Collins which detailed how her attacker was able to target her while she was unarmed due to a campus ban on concealed carry in Nevada, Hudak told Collins that “actually statistics are not on your side even if you had a gun.”

Additionally, Fields was the sole sponsor in the House to sign on to Sen. John Morse’s (D-Colorado Springs) legislation to institute civil liability on firearms manufacturers, sellers, and owner for any damage incurred through the use of their firearms.

Despite her criminal history, Rep. Fields has previously received campaign donations from the Aurora Police Association.

Media Trackers attempted to contact Fields at her office multiple times, but the Representative was unavailable for comment as the calls were unanswered.

That's why I miss Tar & Feathering.

Noting like that type of public disgrace to brand someone in everyone's memory and awareness.

Public flogging would work too.
