Aurora, CO – Failed presidential candidate John Hickenlooper boasted about his gun control plans in Aurora, Colorado, after former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords endorsed him.
Hickenlooper is running the most well-funded campaign for U.S. Senate amongst the other Democrats in the primary.
The former Governor’s plans to infringe on law-abiding American’s rights are extensive. This is what Hickenlooper had to say:
“We don’t just stop with universal background checks. We want to make sure that we have an assault weapons ban, that we limit the size of magazines, and we know that that’s going to save lives. We strengthen enforcement for for those who traffic (guns) illegally. We stop the ghost guns. These are the the guns that are manufactured with new robotics that don’t have any registration number. We look at ways we can begin to hold the reckless and irresponsible members of the gun manufacturing community, hold them accountable,” he said. “The dysfunction in Washington and bitter partisanship has prevented anything from getting done. We should not allow ourselves to be held hostage by that dysfunction.”

Apparently, manufacturing firearms and legally selling them is reckless and irresponsible.
More interesting, however, is Hickenlooper’s claim that “We should strengthen enforcement for for those who traffic (guns) illegally.” We wonder how many trafficked firearms would be out of criminals’ hands if Democrats like Hickenlooper stopped obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Our guess is more than just a few.
But no, instead, Hickenlooper wants to ban scary black rifles, limit magazine sizes, and develop a government database for every single gun owner in the country. He wants to do all that while protecting criminal illegal immigrants.
Of course, Hickenlooper may be in trouble after the Democratic caucuses in Colorado. Hickenlooper’s primary opponent, Andrew Romanoff, CRUSHED Hickenlooper, taking 55% of the vote. Hickenlooper only received 31%.
Whoever wins the June primary will face Senator Cory Gardner in November.
