From cydl:
The senate judiciary committee will be conducting a hearing on SB15-175, the bill to repeal the magazine ban this coming Monday, March 9 at 1330 in Senate Committee Room 352.
Persons wishing to testify remotely can register at: http://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/WitnessR.nsf/register.xspIf you're from CO or know someone who is, please get involved right now.
This committee is comprised of three republicans and two democrats. One of the members, Senator John Cooke, sponsored the bill. You may recognize that name; Senator Cooke was Weld County Sheriff Cooke and worked closely with David Kopel and the Independence Institute in their lawsuit against the ban. Senator Kevin Lundberg, the vice-chair strongly supports the bill. An aide of Senator Lundberg’s replied to my email regarding this bill saying that they had been receiving “hundreds of emails” in support of the bill. That to me was somewhat disappointing; why not thousands? How hard is it to send an email? One of the democrats, Senator Michael Merrifield, is a known Bloomberg lackey.
Anyway, I expect this bill to clear the committee based upon the demographics of the committee but then I felt pretty good that Hickenlooper would lose the election too, so that doesn’t mean folks should sit on their hands. The weather is supposed to be pretty nice early next week. We’ll see what kind of turnout we can get.
