Opinion | 'It was fine. Whew, that was an easy opinion. OK, a few more words might be helpful to understand how average citizens think through legislative sessions.'

by Krisa Kafer. Both are worthy to begin to understand. Between the two opinions – Krista get’s the nod:

Colorado is a local control state and that is essential for good governance. Elected officials make better decisions when governance is closest to the people. The governor and many or most Democratic legislators now apparently believe that state government knows better than local elected officials and their citizens the ideal mix of property rights within local jurisdictions.

Four gun control bills from 2023 have been signed into law by the governor. Enough to make everyone mad for different reasons. Gun control proponents still want a complete ban on AR-15-style rifles and Republicans opposed all four bills in support of the Second Amendment. I’d like to make an honorable mention regarding social issues and culture wars. We should all feel fortunate that we are not in a state that has made national news over controversial social issues such as abortion, LGTBQ rights, book banning, and on and on. We should continue and build our “live and let live libertarian-leaning, respectful, Colorado traditions.”
