Democratic Overreach on the Second Amendment

It appears the Colorado Legislature is going to punish the legal American gun owners with tough new restrictions of their Second Amendment rights.  Lawmakers in Colorado are about to expand background checks (which is similar to a gun registry....illegal to do), limit ammunition magazines to 15 rounds (which is a way to eliminate the AR-15)  to name just a couple of the amendments that will pass through the Democratic controlled House, Senate and Governor's office.  Hundreds of pro-Second Amendment supporters were surrounding the State Capitol building voicing their displeasure.  They were totally ignored.  Retired astronaut and Navy captain Mark Kelly told lawmakers that he and his wife, Gabby Giffords, support the Second Amendment, but he said the right to bear arms shouldn't extend to criminals and the mentally ill. Gabby Giffords, former Colorado U.S. Representative, was shot in the head by a deranged gunman a few years ago. 

It always gets to me that these people say they support the Second Amendment but.....always that "but" in there.  Democrats and gun control supporters say they want to limit access of certain types of guns to criminals and the mentally ill.   But, they are living in a make believe world if they think background checks and limits on magazines will stop gun violence.  Even gun confiscation will not stop these people from getting their hands on guns.  If you start to confiscate guns, then you will have a second American Revolution on your hands.  Not even president Obama and the Democrats want that....well, at least I think they don't want that.  I could be wrong.  As usual, Democrats are over reacting and overreaching on an issue.  Like the massive spending that led to the 2010 "Democratic shellacking,"  this gun control issue will come back and bite Democrats in the ass in the mid-terms in 2014.  Apparently, Democrats never learn.
