The votes were counted last night, and:

Two Colorado Democrats who provided crucial support for a package of state gun laws were voted out of office on Tuesday in special elections seen as a test of whether swing-state voters would accept gun restrictions after mass shootings at a Colorado movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.

Cost to the National Rifle Association to make this happen: $362,000.

  1. The people have spoken; we now deserve everything we get. It’s the way we want it. Head cases (i.e., the general population) having easy access to guns is just fine with us. Automatics, semi-automatics, whatever. Freedom, bitches.

    Restricting magazines to only 15 bullets (that’s some sissy-ass shit right there) and making sure that i’m not a felon or certifiably insane before you sell me a weapon is just going too far, you fucking Nazis.

    Anyway, all the bad things usually happen to someone else anyway. Seriously, do you even know anybody that’s been shot in one of these shootings? A friend of a friend maybe? No? Me neither. Nor have i ever even known anyone who’s been seriously injured in a car wreck, which is why i think we should abolish speed limits, too. Freedom, bitches. You gotta crack some eggs (innocent lives) to make such a sweet, lovely omelet (live the ‘American way of life’). Everything will be alright, you bunch of Cassandras. Just don’t be one of the eggs.

  2. Once again, they make laws that only apply to people that obey the laws. Criminals don’t care about the laws. We need to have harsher sentences for anyone that breaks the rules about guns and gun ownership.
