If you hadn't heard Colorado successfully recalled two State Senators, including the President of Senate. I know, it was quick blurb and then over-shadowed by the Naval Yard Shooting, which of course was followed by more calls for gun control.
But it happened. Here are some articles:

Also, the local State GOP scoffed at the attempt labeling it as impossible:

It proves that people like their guns and distrust politicians/bad laws. In Colorado - not exactly a Red State. But, how can this be? After all, poll after poll showed that 120% of Americans supported the ambiguously written draconian legislation?!
If the polls are accurate, perhaps people aren't willing to answer them honestly. That's a thought provoker in itself.
However, the big take away is that gun owners vote. Even in a battle ground state. And when their rights are threatened (hurriedly taken away in this case) that they are willing to vote people out - even powerful people. Another thought provoker - and the way it t to be.
Remember Colorado!
