Shame on you!So you think that Colorado is being Californicated? Statistically speaking, Californians are less likely to be murdered by a military-style assault weapon than people living in Colorado.

Those weapons are made for only one reason — to kill other human beings.Your tweet sounds like you are trying to incite a Civil War. Who are these tyrants you are referring to?
