I support common sense gun laws but this issue can't be the Dems top priority. Gun control and gay marriage are just not issues where national majorities are made. It's about breaking the GOP's interest groups stranglehold on politics and I would start with their business interests long before taking on the NRA.

I haven't seen any recent national polls on guns, but as for gay marriage, the momentum is definitely on the side of those who support it.

Who knows, maybe if your wife, your husband, your sister, your brother or anything else is killed by a gun, maybe some pro-guns would change their mind?

Yeah, maybe Mr. James Holmes should pay a visit to every Colorado community.  I can imagine he's not unpopular in these two particular districts.

Well it could affect the 2014 legislative session because the Colorado state senate is now 18D-17R after those previous recalls. So flipping another seat to Republicans would give them control of the chamber. I wonder how many seats each party will have after the Nov. 2014 general election.

That's true, but there was already a recall against Hudak that was unsuccessful, so this is the second attempt.

Does anyone know which Senate seats are up next November?
