of brain-dead Repubs vs The People, after the Columbine disaster.
Re: “Michael Bennet joins Senate filibuster over gun violence,” June 16 news story.
Your article incorrectly stated that “Colorado’s legislature closed the gun show loophole after the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999.” Actually, the Republican legislature had the opportunity to do just that in 2000, but killed the bill put forward by the late Sen. Ken Gordon. After that bill’s defeat, SAFE Colorado took it to the voters, who approved it by a 70-30 vote in November 2000. Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was shot and killed at Columbine High School, was the spokesperson for that campaign. Three of the four guns used in that school shooting originated at a gun show.

Don't you just love them Repubs? Neither do I.
