By now we know how it works. Restrict gun ownership to criminals, and gun violence goes up. Colorado is a case in point. Back in 2013, Democrats exploited Sandy Hook as a pretext to declare war on our right of self-defense:

That war included bans on “high capacity” magazines, requirements for universal background checks, fees for existing background checks, and allowing victims of gun violence to sue firearm manufacturers for the misuse of weapons.

Since then, Dems have doubled down. For example,

Most recently, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed a semiautomatic ban that represents “one of the most restrictive regulations ever adopted in Colorado,” according to the Colorado Sun.

The predictable consequence of this long-running campaign:

Ammoland News examined firearm homicides in the state and found there were “86 gun homicides” in 2014 and 237 in 2023.

Insanity has been defined as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” But maybe Democrats are getting the results they want. Why else would they undermine local police and import massive numbers of criminals from the Third World as they disarm law-abiding citizens? They can’t all be that crazy.
