What is the point of carrying weapons during a July 4th parade? Period pieces would be OK, but I suspect these TP people want to pack more modern heat.

The Southern Colorado Patriots’ Club sent a out a flier advertising the parade and instructing members to bring unloaded rifles, “especially the evil black ones.”

They’re pissed about the magazine ban in Colorado. And they’re not just whistling past the graveyard on this one, since at least one state sen in Colorado will face a recall election over that.

The real question is: Can those opposed to such a law put up viable candidates and back them properly? If the answer is ‘yes’, then the ban may end up repealed. If the answer is ‘no’, then this is just a flash-in-the-pan (to use a phrase from the time of the Revolutionary War).
