Rep. Cheri Gerou (R-Evergreen) voting to restrict your gun rights Colorado

May 6, 2013
 

I’m not sure if you were able to read my message last week about Rep. Cheri Gerou (R-Evergreen) voting to restrict your gun rights and now working overtime to silence gun owners!

But you need to hear this…

Voting records and actions don’t lie; they reveal who people really are when (they think) no one is watching.
I hear some of the same responses nearly every time I call out a Republican on their anti-gun position:

“C’mon, you don’t say! A Republican wouldn’t actually vote with Democrats to take away our gun rights, would they?”

“She emailed me personally and told me not to listen to RMGO, she says you’re lying.”

And one of my personal favorites…
“It can’t be true; the NRA gave the legislator an A-rating.”

Of course if you’ve been following politics for any amount of time you know when it comes to defending the Second Amendment…

…liberal Republicans like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and yes, even Cheri Gerou, consistently find a way to undermine our Constitutional rights.
But you already knew that.

, I don’t need to tell you politicians are shifty or underhanded or that they don’t just come out and claim to be anti-gun to your face.

In Gerou’s case, she voted against what the Colorado media labeled as the most controversial gun control measures.

But once the cameras were off and Coloradans’ attention was directed toward other issues like immigration and education, without missing a beat, Rep. Gerou voted to restrict your Second Amendment Rights.

That’s why RMGO keeps a weathered-eye on the issues even when they don’t garner the limelight.

Here are the bills that Rep. Gerou voted for this year:

  • HB 1043-Redefine a deadly weapon: Labels any firearm loaded or unloaded as a deadly weapon. This bill takes away due process by giving DAs the upper hand in the courtroom and makes it harder for honest citizens to defend themselves by adding an automatic assumption of intent.
    (House Republican Yes Votes: Gerou, Gardner)

  • SB 195-Stricter Requirements to Obtain a CCW Permit: Citizens shouldn’t have to fight through the bureaucratic red-tape to practice their Constitutional Rights. Unfortunately, this bill makes it even harder and more restrictive for honest law-abiding citizens to obtain a CCW Permit.
    (House Republican Yes Votes: Gerou, Gardner, Conti)

  • SB 13-Gives Peace Officer Status to the Secret Service: This bill gives the same person behind the infamous Fast & Furious scandal, Eric Holder, the power to arrest and detain Colorado citizens without due process through the use of the Secret Service, which Holder is appointed power over.
    (House Republican Yes Votes: Gerou)

  • HB 1306-Creates Mental Health Task Force: This bill aims to create legislation which could give bureaucrats the ability to violate your private health records and strip away your right to bear arms through a Government controlled databases.
    (House Republican Yes Votes: Gerou)

The truth is in the public records!

In fact, out of 28 House Republicans, Gerou was only one of three House Republicans to vote for gun control. Of the nine gun control measures Gerou voted on in the House, Gerou voted for anti-gun measures four times — the most of any Republican in the entire legislature!

Normally we don’t hand out grades at RMGO, but in this case we’re going to make a special exception for Rep. Gerou:

RMGO Grade – 55%-F

To make matters worse, now “representative” Gerou has filed an “ethics” complaint against RMGO Lobbyist Joe Neville in a radical attempt to silence pro-gun supporters at the state Capitol.

Despite being the instigator and aggressor in this incident, she had the audacity to have one of our staffers “investigated” by anti-gun tribunal.

While she claims RMGO is lying about her behavior, just take a listen to her testimony about the incident in the video below.

I don’t know about you, but to me, sounds like “representative” Gerou isn’t as pro-gun as she’d like you to believe.

You see, Gerou represents House District 25, the safest Republican seat in all of Jefferson County and also one of the largest support bases for the Second Amendment in all of Colorado.

This is why we believe Gerou is doing everything possible to block, shutdown, and firewall the public from knowing the truth about her anti-gun positions.

But those who know me know there’s nothing that infuriates me more than weak-kneed politicians playing fast and loose with our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

I will expose the records of those politicians from ANY PARTY who fail to stand up for our Second Amendment Rights, NO COMPROMISE!

I don’t work for one party or another. I work for the tens of thousands of pro-gun supporters just like you who expect me to protect and defend your right to keep and bear arms.

As the Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners that has been my promise to you and I intend to keep it.

P.S. Rep. Gerou voted for four of the nine anti-gun measures. This was the most of any Republican in the entire legislature!

Colorado now seeks to torpedo free speech: First it was the ability to defend yourself. Well, we did warn you.

May 2, 2013

We had to know this was coming sooner or later. A government that believes itself to be powerful enough to restrict the right of citizens to self-defense with firearms will sooner or later seek to torpedo free speech as well.

Invariably collectivist governments around the world prove the point. From the old Communist Soviet Union to Red China, from Hitler’s Germany to Castro’s Cuba, such regimes are convinced it is necessary not only to insure that their citizens are disarmed but that their right to criticize the government or to utter other forbidden ideas must be severely restricted.

The name of the game is centralized control. Government fears the freedom of the people. Thus, the people must be muzzled and deprived of their guns.

Colorado is the latest case in point.

Just weeks ago the Colorado legislature and governor, both of which are under the control of Democrats, passed highly restrictive gun control measures over the objections of millions of citizens, leading a major gun magazine manufacturer to promptly leave the state, taking its jobs with it. Sportsmen and hunters have vowed to boycott the state. Hunting and fishing are a multimillion dollar industry in Colorado, and the state government benefits handsomely from the activity.

But perhaps the thing that sticks in the craw of Colorado politicians the most is the vociferous verbal attacks they are receiving from citizens who astutely observe that the state has crossed a line that is totally unacceptable to freedom-loving citizens. Threats of recall elections have been rampant, and forces are now amassing to oust all Democrats from the legislature in the next election for their shocking overreach in trampling on the rights of citizens.

However, it is to be noted that the main instigator of the current attack on free speech is a Republican.

In addition, Colorado has become a target for nationwide civil disobedience as gun owners vow they will deliberately break the state’s new gun laws.

But instead of such outrage leading the politicians to back off their ill-conceived attacks on citizen rights, the pompous purveyors of prepotent despotism decided instead to muzzle the citizens, preventing them from advocating for Second Amendment rights.

One writer called the action “an unprecedented abuse of power.”

When the gun control bills were being considered in the Colorado legislature, Rep. Cheri Gerou, a Republican, burst forth in a tirade over her constituents’ views on guns. One of her targets was a representative of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Association, Joe Neville, who eloquently defended the legislator’s gun rights constituents. In retaliation Gerou filed a complaint against Neville and launched an investigation by an “anti-gun tribunal” into the gun owner group and Neville.

The full story of the confrontation instigated by Gerou can be found here.

This kind of behavior on the part of elected representatives who are supposed to represent all of their constituents cannot be tolerated. If her actions are sanctioned or overlooked, and if she is successful in silencing Neville and the gun owners group, then the forces of anti-freedom will win yet another battle.

Patriots beware.
