Saw this gem today. I always ask myself, is there any limit to the extent and number of gun control laws? Will the anti-gun proponents ever be satisfied? Likely not until the populace is disarmed.
More press covering the dumpster fire that is the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission…..

For me the near term move is to light up the email inboxes and voicemail of Senators Dylan Roberts-Steamboat and Nick Hinrichsen-Pueblo. They will be the swing votes in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
After the embarrassing debacle at the...
They see blood in the water. Once they got one petition through they will keep sending them. Expect bans on mountain lion and black bear hunting, furbearer harvest next. CBD controls majority 6-seat voting block on the commission now. Pandora’s box is officially open.

We need to create as much turmoil and controversy as possible surrounding the commission between now and November. Fight every single commission appointment in the state senate. Flood public comment at every...
I respectfully disagree. The feet that trample on hunters and anglers in Colorado comes 100% from the left, and more specifically Governor Polis and the members of his party. Every one of those fraudulent commissioners was appointed by Governor Polis and confirmed by a majority of the state...
That’s a great question. I am not a lawyer and don’t generally take legal advice from twitter but did see this.
I believe that the majority of sportsmen’s community feels completely ignored and rejected by this current commission. Many view the commission as the enemy and not a partner in...
More press surrounding day 2 of the fiasco…..

Abso
Absolutely. Sportsmen and women outnumbered the proponents both in attendance and providing public comment. It is a complete affront to democratic process, especially looking at Denver’s Ord 308 that was voted down in 2024. It sets a really dangerous precedent if the anti groups keep...
So it is not final. They will discuss specifics at the next meeting in May. The vote was to begin rulemaking based on the citizen petition. I believe it would be hard to completely reverse it but they may look for exemptions/exceptions and carveouts.
Agreed. We need to bring it up at every commission meeting, never let it go. Also use this as a data point to fight every single commission appointment in the state senate.
Why do we even have an agency with biologists if thy are just going to be ignored by the commission? It’s crazy.
The end of science-based wildlife management and representative governance in Colorado has been ushered in today. CPW Commission rejected the recommendation of the CPW Director and overturned the will of the people (Denver Ordinance 308) by accepting the citizen petition to ban fur sales. The...
Governor should stay out of CPW rule-making. Furbearer harvest limits shouldn’t be a “priority” for his office.
Wish he would make better roads and schools, less government regulation, and rising housing costs a “priority”.
Huge thanks to Big Fin and the Fresh Tracks team for using their media...

Are here it is, we knew it all along. Samantha Miller of Center for Biological Diversity passing along the support they receive directly from the Governor’s office in their citizen petition fur ban.
I think they have underestimated...
Exactly. All those things like major decision, policy, and strategy come from the Governor’s office along with his hand-selected activist commissioners.
And I don’t mean that as a dig against Clellan. Just the nature of single party rule under Polis-Reis.
