While our President tours states challenged by the influence of NRA money on their attempts to protect their citizenry. A group leader in Colorado calls for a time to "hunt democrats"
He mentions deer season in the same phrase so there is little room for ambiguity.
That's also true here in Colorado, where Dudley Brown runs an organization called Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. His office in the small town of Windsor is near a river named for the gunpowder French trappers once stored there.
"This is a very Western state with traditional Western values," he says. "And citizens had to have firearms for self-defense, and right now that's still the case."
Brown complains that universal background checks are just a step toward identifying gun owners so the government can seize their weapons, and he calls the 15-round limit on ammunition magazines arbitrary. He's promising political payback in next year's election that could cost Colorado Democrats their majorities.
"I liken it to the proverbial hunting season," Brown says. "We tell gun owners, 'There's a time to hunt deer. And the next election is the time to hunt Democrats.'"
